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