ARE YOU READY? THE COMPETITION STARTS IN ↓

GovHack Virtual Conference (July 2020)

New for 2020, GovHack will run its first international and virtual conference!

This will consist of a series of sessions over a 2-week period, hosting several technical conversations, data owner presentations and messages from our sponsors.

This is a terrific way for hackers to gain a greater understanding and awareness of selected datasets, allowing them to interact directly with data experts.

Regional Connections Events
These events held online in each State / Territory, and hosted by the State/Territory Directors, will be the opportunity for sponsors, mentors and hackers to meet online, prior to the competition. Get to know your fellow hackers and State sponsors and hear the ‘spoilers’ about the challenges.
