In the months leading up to the main Hackathon event, we host a series of meet-and-greet mixers. These gatherings offer attendees the chance to connect, form teams, and begin brainstorming ideas for their projects well in advance of the Hackathon. This is really the time to initiate team formation. After the mixers you can use the time to obtain more data, think about what you want to do, maybe reach out to more potential team members. We STRONGLY suggest attending the meet and greet mixers before the Hackathon to give yourself ample time to form into teams and begin your product.
