Tickets are Live

Grab a ticket – the hackathon takes place in this impressive venue

The University of East London operates from three sites. The original campus on Water Lane Stratford is the one we’re using, and they have kindly agreed to allow the use of The Great Hall. The entrance to The Great Hall is now on Romford Road, the older entrance having been retired. There is a smaller second campus in the centre of Stratford, and a new one further away in Docklands. You’re aiming for the big, original campus!

 

The nearest station is Maryland on the Elizabeth Line and it’s an easy walk. It’s also perfectly walkable from Stratford Station which is just ten minutes away. The benefit of using Stratford Station is that it’s served by five lines:

• Elizabeth Line
• Central Line
• Jubilee Line
• Docklands Light Railway
• London Overground – Mildmay Line

There are also eighteen bus routes serving Stratford, with routes 25, 86, 308 and 425 all passing directly along Romford Road. The best stop (eastbound) is labelled “Water Lane University of East London – Stop MK”. If you’re travelling westbound (or southbound on the 308) then the nearest stop is “Atherton Leisure Centre” (or on route 308 aim for UEL Stratford Campus – Stop MR – right next to the old entrance for The Great Hall).

The venue is not open overnight. We will need to leave at 9pm on the Saturday, and we can return at 8am on the Sunday. The schedule is here.

Catering

The catering team is exploring options, and we have asked for cold buffet lunches on both days, and a hot dinner on the Saturday evening. A light breakfast will also be available on the Sunday morning. Tea and coffee will be routinely available. The venue has water fountains so please bring a reusable bottle.

Who would like to sponsor one or more meals? We’d like some help from Silver Sponsors. The Silver Sponsors get their name in the headlines regularly, a speaking slot, and extra emphasis at each meal time. Please get in touch with Proactive Paul events@electronical.ly

Challenges

Two challenges have already been announced. Thank you dxw and Infobip.

The Environment Challenge    

The Digital Communication Challenge

We’d like at least two more Gold Sponsors please. Who do you know who wants to be deeply involved?

Tickets

The tickets went live on Friday and nearly half of them have been taken! Get yours now if you haven’t done so already. And share the news please, we’d love to see many more new faces, and a lot of the old crowd too. We’re especially keen to cater to UEL students across all subject areas. If you’re a current student say hello to us on Mastodon or Twitter. This is a grass roots community, and we’re a friendly bunch!
