I organised DefHacks Worldwide 3.0 over the weekend from June 25-27, virtually. We had over 600 hackers from around 43 countries who submitted over 100 projects to the hackathon. We received a lot of support from our amazing sponsors Datastax, Coil, TwilioQuest, Postman, Linode, Tabnine, SAWO Labs, StreamYard, .xyz among others. We also had fantastic speakers in Viral Shah, Eddie Jaoude, Josh Starmer, Jimmy Chan and Ayazhan Zhakhan who shared their enriching experiences with us.
I personally learnt a lot through organizing the hackathon. I was involved in all departments of the organizing team and contributed through promotions, getting sponsors, speakers, organzing mini events during the hackathon, mentoring and ensuring the hackers had a great time. We were overwhelmed by the excellent feedback received right after the hackathon from the hackers. I'm proud of what we've created as a small team of 6 members. I hope to organize another hackathon soon.
