TADHACK Chicago

Come meet amazing people worldwide, learn important new skills, and perhaps even change the world with your hack!

For the 6th year running, TADHack Global 2019 will be the largest telecom-focused hackathon in the world. This Fall, the Chicago location will run over the 12th – 13th of October (Saturday-Sunday) and will be one of 10 - 15 locations running in parallel worldwide. The Real-Time Communications Lab at the Illinois Institute of Technology has been proud to partner with TADHack Global, beginning with the inaugural event in June 2014. We're excited to move into the beautiful new Kaplan Institute for Innovation and Tech Entrepreneurship on IIT's Main Campus this year. With a focus on innovative thinking and transitioning new ideas into products and processes, Kaplan is the perfect venue for TADHack, and we’re expecting another record crowd this Fall. As a result, we advise early registration in anticipation of a capacity crowd. TADHack Global has been scheduled this year to coincide with the Fifteenth Annual IIT RTC Conference and the Inaugurural TADSumit Americas, which will be co-located in Hermann Hall immediately following on October 14-16, so it should be an exciting week in Chicago, filled with the latest innovations in real-time communications. Whether you’re a hacker, hustler or hipster (developer, business-type or designer); TADHack is for Everyone! . You’ll learn about adding programmable telecoms to your apps, services, or business, be able to share your experiences with others, do some “coding,” and potentially create a winning hack that makes a difference in your community. Oh, and don’t forget about the awesome food and cash prizes. Check out the Chicago location and register to reserve your place!
