Sitecore Hackathon 2019

The 2019 Sitecore Hackathon is a free online community driven event organized by Akshay Sura and supported by Sitecore. (Shout out to Pieter and Mark).

Teams that have signed up by 6 pm EST February 15, 2019 will have the opportunity to participate in the contest. Eligible teams will have 24 hours — starting Friday March 1st 2019 at 8PM EST and ending Saturday March 2nd 2019 at 8PM EST – to build and submit a Sitecore module best implementing the idea for the Hackathon, as determined by our panel of judges. The idea(s) will be announced an hour before the Hackathon starts on March 1st.
