You can register for the Hackathon Fulda 2025 via the ticket shop at https://eveeno.com/hackathon_25. The participation fee for the Hackathon Fulda is 25 Euro (15 Euro until 31st August 2025). In return, you will receive free catering and a great welcome package for the entire hackathon.
Anyone who wants to can take part! However, a basic technical understanding, the ability to programme or other skills that are needed in the process of solving a technical challenge are of course useful. Even if you have knowledge in the field of ‘disaster control’, you are welcome to participate. You should be of legal age (please contact the organiser if you are aged 16-18).
Yes, you can register individually. However, you can only work on a challenge as a team. If you don't have a team yet, you can form one on site at the start of the hackathon. We also offer a moderated team building session.
No, not in the first step of the registration process. However, you will be asked in advance whether you already have a team. We ask you to add more people if your team has less than 8 members. The event will start with a team building session.
A team must consist of at least 8 people. There is no fixed upper limit.
The exact challenge description will be sent to all registered participants by email shortly before the event. On Saturday morning, exemplary scenarios will be presented by various experts from the field.
There will be coaching and feedback sessions for each task on Saturday evening. Here you can present your approaches or partial approaches as a team in a personal discussion with our experts and ask questions.
Each team has 5 minutes to present their solution to the jury and the audience. The jury also asks a question.
The presentations will take place on Sunday, 26th October from 12.15 pm. At the same time, we will of course also be looking at what you have programmed or developed during the hackathon. We have our own review team for this.
The rights always belong to the team. By participating and presenting, you do not assign any rights of use.
We will provide you with food and (non-alcoholic) drinks during the entire hackathon. This means there will be several meals and snacks for you. Drinks are available around the clock. Catering is included in the participation fee.
Catering will mainly take place in front of the hall. A food truck will be waiting for you there and we will provide bar tables and umbrellas.
And, very importantly, we will of course also have enough mate tea...
