Join us from wherever you are for our VIRTUAL event, coming to you from Orlando, FL, Chicago, IL, and Phoenix, AZ!
At this year’s Hack you will
- meet like-minded people who are passionate about Jesus and tech
- use your creativity to innovate solutions that bring The Gospel to millions of people
- experience how you can use your passion for tech to serve ministries longing for your skills
You don’t have to be a programmer to get involved. We need designers, photographers, writers, project managers, social media gurus – creative thinkers of all types! The most important skill is the ability to work as a team and find ways to problem-solve.
This event will be hosted by a team representing multiple ministries in different cities, but is taking place online so that we can stay safe. That means anyone who is interested can participate, no matter where they are!
Join us this October for an amazing 48 hour experience that will be fun and life changing!
