about

We're building Australia's most comprehensive hackathon directory — a single place to find every build weekend, jam and design challenge in the country.

We aggregate events from Eventbrite, Humanitix, Luma, and direct submissions so you never miss a hackathon happening near you.

Have a hackathon to list? submit it here — live within 24 hours.

faq

How do I submit a hackathon?+
Use the Submit Hackathon button in the header. Give us the name, dates, city, registration link and a banner if you have one — we review and publish within 24 hours.
Is it free to list a hackathon?+
Yes. Standard listings are free forever. Get Featured is a paid option that pins your event to the top of the directory and the weekly email.
How often is the directory updated?+
Daily. We pull from Eventbrite, Humanitix and Luma every morning, and direct submissions are reviewed the same day.
What cities are covered?+
All capital cities plus regional hubs — Newcastle, Wollongong, Geelong, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast, Townsville and Cairns. Online-only events get their own listing.
Can I attend online hackathons?+
Yes. Filter by Online to see remote-friendly events, including ones run from overseas that accept Australian participants.
