The largest hackathon in the history of software development with a prize fund of $ 140,000
February 22-25, 2016 will be a landmark event in the field of software development - hack.summit () . This is the largest virtual conference in history. The largest programming conference ever. The largest of the hackathons in the world with a total prize fund of $ 140,000 (on the main page of the project, for some reason, $ 150000 appears, but in the description of the prize places 100k, 30k and 10k, maybe I missed it).
For those who have enough hack.summit () .

Pluralsight is behind the organization - a resource with a large number of training courses, one way or another connected with IT.
PS Few people will not notice, but during registration you can transfer money (donation from $ 5), use the promotional code, and for those who do not have the means, it’s enough to post on Facebook or Twitter. For some reason I had to edit the page to make a post (the form was not displayed). Perhaps this is part of the hackathon.
