Join your industry colleagues for lightning talks, libations, and BBQ at San Hack (Jac) Saloon on Thursday, November 6th at 6 pm. The event space on the second floor will be reserved for our group, simply present your Eventbrite registration. Talks will start at 7:30 pm. Contact cfp@hackerhoedown.com to get on the talk agenda. Feel free to bring laptops as power and WiFi are accessible. No recording allowed.

Open bar through midnight and BBQ while available. Presenters will speak in front of a large screen projector with a handheld microphone. Audio and visual will simulcast throughout the venue. Once the talks wrap up, we’ll kick off with a live country performance at a decibel level that’s conducive to continued conversation.
