Recruit Participants

Once you have an agenda, it’s time to Recruit! Recruit! Recruit! In order to get people to your event, you’ll need to start early.

Additionally, you’ll also want to make sure you have a diverse skill set at your event. The best teams at hackathons are comprised of a mix of skillsets including developers, user interface designers, data scientists, and subject matter experts.

Choose a Way for Participants to Register

There’s a few ways that you can do registration for the event. For events run by existing groups or meetups, Meetup.com is great because it allows discussions on the event page and helps to carry the movement on afterwards (since you’ll have people joining your meetup group when they register for the event.) Eventbrite.com is also a great option. Both options have the ability to schedule pre and post event emails for keeping in communication with your registrants and attendees.
