Hackfest 2020

Hackfest 2020 - 12 Challenges of Hackfest (Build C-19)

ANSWER THE CALL 2020

Hackfest.ca is the largest hacking event in Canada and a unique bilingual event (French and English) where a social and friendly crowd of over 1500 people gather and meet each year. Each year we welcome local and international speakers in Quebec City, Canada for two extraordinary days. But obviously this year is a VIRTUAL Edition "Build C-19"!

What makes Hackfest so unique?

The wide range of topics, the large number of speakers, but also the participants and the ease of discussion. Among the participants, we have young professionals, students and enthusiasts as well as influencers and managers of both the public and the private sectors of Quebec and neighboring provinces.
