Get together with fellow hackers, tech Meetups from across NYC, and the best APIs around for the first ever cross-language hackathon tournament.

Every programming language and platform has its strengths and weaknesses, its devoted fans and its bitter detractors. To celebrate the techno-diversity that makes software programming such a fascinating sport, we're hosting a series of hackathons at Meetup HQ...

JavaScript in June

PHP in July

Python and Ruby in August

FINAL BATTLE OF THE BRACES in September

Esteemed judges will select their favorite hacks from each competition, and these teams will be invited back for the final, cross-platform melee.

The winner of the entire tournament will be awarded a demo spot at the NY Tech Meetup! Get the chance to show off at the biggest monthly event in tech.

Big thanks go out to Meetup HQ's kickass partners Etsy, Twilio, Tumblr, Mashery, Ordr.in, SendGrid, Nodejitsu and the NY Tech Meetup!
