Why host a LeisureHack?

Because we’re in the midst of a digital revolution. From fitness apps to wearables and the latest gym equipment, technology is changing the way we exercise. The Leisure industry needs to keep pace with rapid change, and LeisureHack is the platform for tech innovation that rethinks the future of fitness.

It's a high-energy weekend focussed on solving problems faced by the fitness and leisure industry.

#LEISUREHACK

Do you have what it takes?

We're looking for talented developers and designers who want to help solve the problems faced by the leisure industry. If you think you've got the endurance and want to meet new friends, find people who might hire you and ultimately be in with a chance of a prize – register now.

It's a team thing.

While you are applying as individuals, we’re looking for people who can work together. You will be assigned teams on the day, so cooperation is as important as creativity or ninja coding skills.

Prizes

We'll have a swag bag for all participants but there will also be prizes awarded by our esteemed panel of leisure industry experts.

FAQs

We're not here to tell you whether Father's Day falls on a Sunday, but we've put together a list of commonly asked questions below. If you can't find the answer you're looking for then ping an email to [email protected]

Leisure What?

On Day 1, registration will open at 10am – you arrive, scope and share skills, create teams and meet the judging panel. After a few quick talks our virtual gong hits and the hacking begins. Add food, drink, more food (and plenty of red bull), then hack through the night or grab a strategic nap. On day 2, more food, then hack ‘til the virtual gong rings again, which will signal the end of LeisureHack. Teams will present their work, judging occurs and prizes are awarded. Simples.

How big can the teams be?

You can hack on your own or with a team of friends. The maximum team size is 4, but if you arrive by yourself and want to be part of a team then we can pair you up on the day. Please remember that you need to individually register.

How can I enter?

Top right of this page is the register button. Simply click this and follow the instructions. We've got a small task for you which will weed out the weak.

Can I stay over night?

Yes, it's a 24 hour event and you'll need every last minute to create something awesome to wow our judging panel. Bring your PJs if you own some and we'll provide areas where you can lay your head down. Please remember it's a public event so you'll need to cover up.

What do I need to bring?

All you need is a laptop computer, but we’d suggest a toothbrush too as you'll be staying overnight.

Is there a prize?

There is a goody bag for all competitors, plus two team prizes (including £500 cash for our winners).

Will there be food and drink?

Yes, no need to bring food and drink. Let us know if you have any special dietary requirements we should cater for.

What kind of code can I write?
