Costumes are not mandatory, but odds are it will be in your favour.

HackVan 2012 @ A Thinking Ape
Mar 24 @ 4:00 pm – Mar 25 @ 2:00 am

HackVAN is the 2012 Vancouver-based edition of HackDays, the one-day API programming hackathon events that take place across Canada.

For one day, teams of 1 – 3 developers work on integrating with one or more of the sponsors APIs. Judges from the local tech community judge based on awesomeness and technical difficulty, and we award fantastic prizes including a MacBook Air, iPads, e-readers and more.

We’ll start with a mixer on Friday night so people can find development partners and meet everyone else, and then you have one day on Saturday to code your entire application. We’ll keep you fed and pour you a beer at  the end of the day, and then the presentations and judging occur.

Tickets can be found at http://hackvan2012.eventbrite.com/
