⏰ Time: 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM
💻 Format: Physical / In-person
👥 Team & Registration
The Hack Day supports teams of 2–4 members.
Important: Registration is individual. Registering yourself doesn't means confirmation, confirmation of your seat will be announced to you via email based on the evaluation of GitHub and LinkedIn profiles.
Every participant must register separately, even if you are participating as a team.
You can register with your teammates and form your team beforehand.
You can also register solo and find teammates at the venue.
