Design for Inclusion and Excitement

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do you run hybrid hackathons?

We host hybrid hackathons worldwide, combining physical hubs at campuses, innovation centers, and offices with an online platform that connects every location.

Most hybrid hackathons run as a 24–48 hour sprint, often with an optional pre‑event virtual build‑up or post‑event showcase.

We support internal programs for employees and external challenges for broader communities, all designed to work seamlessly across online and in‑person participation.

We recommend 12–14 weeks for most hybrid events — the virtual phase typically runs 1–4 weeks, followed by a finalist selection period and an in-person finale. This sequencing needs careful coordination across marketing, judging, logistics, and venue. For larger-scale events with multi-regional virtual promotion, 16+ weeks is ideal. Tell us your timeline and we’ll map out what’s feasible

Considerably. The virtual phase maximises participant volume at low incremental cost, while the in-person finale is kept lean, you’re only hosting shortlisted finalists, not hundreds of participants. This means venue, catering, and logistics costs stay manageable without sacrificing the live, high-stakes energy that drives your best submissions and brand moments.

During the virtual phase, yes — teams can form across cities and time zones, collaborating through our platform’s built-in messaging and project tools. If a cross-location team makes it to the in-person finale, all members are brought together on-site, which is often where the real magic happens. Some of the strongest submissions we’ve seen came from teams meeting face-to-face for the first time at the finals.
