Where you’ll be hacking

Thanks to AlleyNYC, this year’s hack battle is not just taking place in an office, but in “the most bad-ass community on the planet.” Centred in the heart of Manhattan, AlleyNYC has been rated as one of the top-five co-working spaces in NYC by CBS New York – making it the perfect venue for a hardcore hackathon.
