Meet your team

Leading up to the event, should you be one of the lucky few selected to attend, you'll have handy your team packet telling you all about who you're working with and who your Mentor/Team Lead is.

To kickstart HotHack for 2023, you'll meet your team and get to know each other over a few drinks and nibbles.

Event kick off

Once you've met your team you'll head to the main event space to hear from the organisers and sponsors about what to expect!

We will break the ice with some fun activities to get you in the mood for the weekend ahead, and will run through the itinerary for the weekend including workshops, problem statements you will work on as a team, and much more!

Hear from supporters 📢

We couldn't run HotHack if it weren't for the amazing support of Brisbane companies that are passionate about creating a better future for the next generation of developers in Brisbane.

As a passionate developer yourself, we believe it is mission critical to learn about the amazing companies putting their money where their mouths are, and how they're helping to shape not just Brisbane's future but yours as well 🎉
