Austin Hacker Hoedown

hoedown | ˈhōˌdoun | noun North American
a social gathering at which lively folk dancing takes place.
a lively folk dance.

There likely won’t be dancing, but… we gather for technical lightning talks, libations (open bar), and Coopers BBQ at San Jack Saloon once a year.

Feel free to bring laptops as power and WiFi are accessible. Recommend utilizing rideshare to the venue. If you must drive, consider the parking lot on 7th and San Jacinto. No recording allowed. Reach out to cfp@hackerhoedown.com to get on the agenda.

Presenters will speak in front of a large screen projector with microphone. Audio and visual will simulcast throughout the venue. In other words, you can get a good view from anywhere. So feel free to meander about. Talks can range in time, 10-20 minutes is a good sweet spot but no one will hate you for going over. Once the talks wrap up, we’ll kick off with a live country performance at a decibel level that’s conducive to continued conversation.
