We can't imagine better venue to run hackathon than ultra-modern space of Krakow Technology Park. We hoped that magic of the place will inspire participants to come up with great ideas. And we weren't wrong about it!

And the ultimate proof that you did great is that even the last row wasn't sleeping. This is the best metric of interesting expert panel debate!

We followed with Q&A session. Did Beata made a good point here? Just look at Bartlomiej face! He seems to be saying "Wow!, You just nailed it!" btw. Bartlomiej was moderating the debate and he's really good at it!

Developers are the greatest stars at hackathons. But this time we had a great pleasure to have one more star Jeff Burton. He is legendary co-founder of Electronic Arts and Atari. Jeff speech was a true inspiration!
