Schedule

Cincyhackathon September 9th & 10th

Cincyhackathon is an event where local coders and developers are invited to hear nationally recognized Ruby on Rails expert Blake Mizerany speak about Ruby, then jump into teams and put their development expertise to work for fun and profit. Teams will be organized on the spot at the event by CincyTech – feel free to come in groups or individually.

CincyTech and the Brandery startup accelerator are hosting this first of three hackathons, leading to a finals round in January.

The first round will be held on Friday and Saturday, September 9th and 10th at Martino’s, 2618 Vine Street (adjacent to the University of Cincinnati).
