HackDFW is the design-thinking hackathon of Dallas.
It is a place where you can be part of the nebulous, wondrous, awe-inspiring, frustrating-yet-glorious process of creating. A place where ideas aren't limited by fear or doubt, only 24 hours.
Hosted at the Women's Museum in Fair Park, HackDFW brings together 500 talented creators and thinkers for a weekend of building.
