FWD.us (http://bit.ly/BNTfwdus) is a nonprofit organization of key leaders (http://www.fwd.us/our_supporters) in the tech industry and local entrepreneurs advocating for policies that will grow the knowledge economy (http://articles.washingtonpost.com/2013-04-10/opinions/38444416_1_knowledge-economy-immigration-policy-students). On Nov. 20-21, FWD.us will host a DREAMer Hackathon (http://www.fwd.us/dreamer_hackathon), at LinkedIn HQ to develop new tools to advocate for solutions to our broken immigration system. Join Boston New Tech and VentureFizz to support FWD.us in their effort to pass comprehensive immigration reform—one that combines the creative thinking of our immigrant community with the collaborative spirit of the tech community. Come see this special live broadcast of the opening ceremony at 6:30 PM to kick off the DREAMer Hackathon, featuring Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Groupon Founder Andrew Mason, Dropbox CEO Drew Houston, and LinkedIn CEO Reid Hoffman.

MassHack Hackathons (http://bit.ly/1icTsXP) are all about innovation. Innovation fuels the economy and helps solve some of the day’s greatest challenges. We need more innovation and to help drive this we are creating one of the largest crowd-funded and crowd-sourced programs – the Massachusetts Hackathon 2014 (1/30 to 2/1). Developed to be able to bring competitive teams of one-to-four developers into a structured 48-hour applications development environment, MassHack 2014 brings the best of the Left Coast’s hackathons together with the venture capital and academic communities of the Right Coast. The Boston metropolitan area has long been home to cool and creative companies, and now we have a world-class competition to challenge the best and brightest. Join a Hackathon team, attend the Expo & Workshop, or become a Sponsor or Exhibitor! www.MassHack.com (http://bit.ly/1icTsXP)
