HackCodeX 2023 is here!

HackCodeX is an on-site hackathon where programmers, designers, and tech enthusiasts collaborate on exciting challenges and compete in teams. The weekend-long informal gathering will be held at the heart of the Baltics, in Riga, Latvia. It’s partly laid-back party, partly race-the-clock intense competition to find the most talented coding team of all!

The HackCodeX hackathon will take place June 3–5 and it will be hosted in Riga, Latvia in a beautiful venue Hanzas Perons. The hacking, coding, networking and sleeping (if any) will be announced shortly!

You can apply to the event here, on HackCodeX website. We will review your application and check that you are a real person and elligable for participation. Your application will be reviewed within a week and we will let you know if you are confirmed. The event is open for anyone over 18 to apply, however, as places for the on-site event are limited, we will give preference to participants with coding experience on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Everybody is welcome to join! No matter if you are an entrepreneur, a professional or a student. You don’t neccessarely have to be a software developer and you certainly don’t have to be majoring in Computer Science to join (but devs will have preference, though). You do have to be over 18 and have the necessary documents to travel to Riga, though.

You can come individually or with an already established team, but all team members must apply and be accepted as well. Moreover, we will host a team matchmaking - so no need to worry if you don't have a team, you'll be able to find one onsite! The team should consist of 1 to 5 people, we suggest having a minimum of 3 people in a team. All team members must be accepted to the hackathon and be at least 18 years of age.

Glad you asked! Easy, by hacking, duh! There are two ways to win the HackCodex hackathon - either you are the best in your challenge (chosen by the challenge partner) or you are the main winner of the hack. To choose top 5 teams the peer review system will be used - then, you pitch it.

Main prize for the hackathon winning team will be announced shortly! In addition to the main prize, the challenge partners give out individual prizes to the best ideas in each challenge.

Haha, no! The event is free of charge for all participants. Moreover, we will ensure food & drinks. That's what makes it so amazing (did we mention places are first come-first serve)?

For the best hacking experience on-site, there will be a dedicated sleeping area at the venue. What to bring with you for accommodation? Warm clothes A sleeping bag Warm stockings Toiletries A towel Other things that can make your stay comfortable We are providing: Sleeping mats! It will be possible to sleep there only the nights between Saturday and Sunday, and Sunday and Monday. If you plan to come to Latvia earlier, you must find other sleeping arrangements. Keep up with HackCodeX Discord platform! The organizers will share the best deals for hostels, hotels and Airbnb's around the hackathon venue.
