I think that Launch wouldn't be complete without a hackathon. What you'll need is enough Internet connections to let everyone who wants to get in have their own, and LOTS of pizza and energy drinks. Perhaps you could persuade a local pizzeria to throw in pies for a sponshorhip. Also, the winning team should be able to present their idea on stage. Do this and you'll have a great hackathon in addition to a great event.
- jasonmcalacanis 16y agoWe have 400MBIT down and 40 mBIT up and 250 ethernet cables being run.... is that enough? :-) Considering we are spending $100k on the internet connections, I think we can afford to pick up the pizza tab no problem. :-)
- daimyoyo 16y agoIt's not a question of being able to afford it(I assume you could give everyone who attends the entire conference a pizza and still have $ left over) it's what would be most effective for the most people. If you get a local place to do it for you you'll not only save on the cost of pizzas(more profits to invest in the winner of the event) you'll give a local place some much needed attention. Plus, since a lot of people who will go to the hackathon already live in the area, they'll get quite a few new customers as well. And if that's not a win-win, I don't know what is.
