The Changing Face of Balbriggan Community Hackathon is a free, day-long event which will be held on Saturday, 16th October from 9am-6pm. The hybrid event is open to everyone over the age of 18 in either the Bracken Court Hotel or on-line for those who cannot make it in person.

The hackathon will examine a number of challenges facing the town such as the question of how to make Balbriggan an investment destination, how to develop a thriving creative arts and culture sector and how to build a stronger, cohesive and vibrant community. There is a competitive element to the event and winners, who will be announced just before 6pm on Saturday evening, will get an opportunity to further develop their ideas, including possible seed funding!
The event is being run by facilitators What The Hack in conjunction with the Smart Balbriggan project, an initiative of Fingal County Council, which was launched last year to explore how technology and innovation can improve the town.
