The 8th Hackfest event is also based on the year’s digit, which is 8. 8 being an interesting figure in mathematics, because when placed on the side it looks like the symbol of infinity. So Hackfest infinity seen the day!

The theme of 2015 is based on the concept of the 7th year so the number 7. The 7 being considered a lucky number in America, the logo represents the games of luck. To add to the theme, it was the first year we introduced blackjack and poker tables at our parties!

The 2014 logo also makes reference to Star Wars, but the 6th episode “Return of the Jedi.” The image is partly CC “johancock” FlickR. The concept of “return” is linked to the event, which continues with good growth andhas a lot of changes in the games schedule format and conferences
