In-person (offline) hackathons (2026)
In-person hackathons bring teams to one venue, usually a college campus or an office, to build for 24 to 48 hours with mentors on site. They are the best way to meet other builders, sponsors and recruiters.
Each listing shows the city and venue, dates, team size and prizes. Many in-person hackathons start with an online idea round, and only shortlisted teams travel to the finale.

Frequently asked questions
What should I bring to an in-person hackathon?

Do offline hackathons pay for travel?
Some organizers reimburse travel for shortlisted teams; it is mentioned on the hackathon page or in the FAQ. Ask the organizer from the hackathon page if it is not listed.
Can I join without a team?
