AngelHack Iraq 2015

“Thoughts Become Things”

Take a second to think about what distinguishes you, as a hacker. Is it your impressive ability to stay (semi) functional for 24 hours on end? Maybe your unmatched ability to maintain a sense of humor, even when the Gods of Code decide to pick on you that day? Or is it your ability to easily process immense amounts of Red Bull?

While all of these things are impressive (seriously, props for the no sleep thing), what really distinguishes you hackers from others, is your unparalleled PASSION for what you do. A passion that is derived from a single feeling, and is guided by your need to see that feeling turn into a thought, the thought turn into an idea, and the idea come to life!

Welcome to the Eighth season of AngelHack, where Thoughts Become Things!

What makes AngelHack the best hackathon series on the planet, nay, the universe?

Well, if you’ve been to any of our events before, then you already know the answer to this. But if you haven’t, here’s a glimpse of why:

• Hundreds of the world’s most talented hackers for you to mingle & work with

• $100,000’s in sponsor prizes

• The opportunity to gain an exclusive invite to our HACKcelerator program for the winners of each hackathon

• Mandatory Demos, code reviews, and banning of slide decks to ensure fairness and equal opportunity

• Games, games, and more games to keep you PUMPED! (Nerf war anyone?)

• Awesome food, and LOTS of it.

• Coding through the night (because you never know when inspiration might strike, right?)

• Sponsor awards, breakout sessions, and post-event parties!

• Swag on swag on swag!
