About

HackSussex 2025 is almost upon us! This unique event is hosted over a full weekend, including 24 hours of non-stop coding, workshops hosted by our sponsors, 4 mouth-wateringly tasty meals from local Brighton caterers, snacks and drinks, and an exclusive 2025 t-shirt, all for free!

Your project can enter multiple of our many prize tracks. If you don’t have a team, find your family-for-the-weekend in our team building event! Together you’ll create a game, some software or something electronic. Have you never coded before? Have you been coding since before you were conceived? Are you competitive? Are you laid back? Want to boost your CV while having fun? Join us for our best Hackathon yet – you won’t want to miss this!

About

With only a few days until the Hacksussex Hackathon 2024, we hope that you are just as excited as we are! To ensure that you are having the best experience during your time developing, we have gathered all the important information regarding the event.

In-person registration for the hackathon will begin at 10am on the 17th of February. It will take place at Chichester 1, University of Sussex. The event will end at 6pm on the 18th of February.

If coming from Falmer Station, keep an eye out for HackSussex signs guiding the way. If you are coming via the 25 or 23 bus from Brighton, hop off at the North South Road stop.

If you are not coming with a team, you can find your team-for-the-weekend in our team building event on Saturday morning.
