The world’s largest Hackathon series is coming to Seattle this weekend. AngelHack’s goal is “to build a stronger developer ecosystem around the world” — 
and with installments in over 30 cities and 6,000+ developers participating, it has the potential to do just that.
The team that wins the hackathon on Saturday and Sunday will gain acceptance into the Spring 2014 HACKcelerator program — which offers full support to develop the team’s project into a market-ready product. Register as a developer, designer, business, or volunteer here.
The event, which will take place at WeWork in Seattle’s South Lake Union neighborhood, offers food, giveaways, mentorship, and post-event parties.
That’s one of our hand-picked events from the GeekWire Calendar, which lists the top tech industry and community events in the Pacific Northwest. Check out the rest of our upcoming favorites, and see the calendar for more.
