How to launch a hackathon in 30 days

Split preparation into weekly checkpoints: concept and budget, partners and venue, participant recruitment, program and experts, then final readiness. The checklist stores progress locally and highlights unfinished work.

Use the checklist

  1. Start at D−30 with goals, format, budget, roles and partners.
  2. Complete recruitment, content, logistics and judging blocks each week.
  3. At D−3 run a full rehearsal and assign owners for event day.

Launch questions

Can a hackathon be prepared in one month?

Yes, when the concept is clear, decisions are fast and tasks have owners. Large offline events should allow more lead time.

Is checklist progress saved?

Yes. Completed items are stored in your browser on the current device; no registration is required.
