Thank you!

Thank you for Hackfest 2026

Thank you to every participant, sponsor and volunteer who made the 18th edition a success. We can't wait to see you again!

For 2027, Hackfest 19 takes the game of Go as its theme. A Go board has 19 lines by 19, just like this 19th edition. In the logo, five HF stones form the glider from Conway's Game of Life, a hacker emblem. The last stone is placed by a robot hand: that is AI, which now plays alongside us. See you October 21 to 23, 2027.
