Registration
Registration to join the hackathon as a participant will open in late January.
Joining remotely
The nf-core hackathon will take place both in-person and online. If you don’t have a local site near you or can’t join in person, you can attend online! We will likely use an online platform such as Gather, as in previous years.
In person: Local sites
If you have registered for a local site your local host will be in contact with you to outline site-specific information. For the most recent information about your site as well as the contact details of your organizer please check the event page specific to your local sites.
Even if you are attending a local site you will still join everyone online in Gather.

Host a local site
We are now accepting registrations from organizers interested in hosting local hackathon sites 🎉
Anyone is welcome to host a site: you don’t need to be an expert or have prior experience with hackathons.
What you’ll need:
- Access to a dedicated space for the duration of the event
- Decent wifi and a bunch of extension cables
- Enthusiasm!
Any space will do: be it a meeting room for 5-10 people through to larger spaces to accommodate more.
The steps to host a site are:
- 👩🏻💻 Open a pull-request to add your site-specific page to this website
- Create a new site-specific
.mdxfile and add it to the main event page’s table.
- Create a new site-specific
- 📢 Advertise - both locally and online
- ☎️ During the event: act as a contact point with the hackathon organisers
For more details, see the About nf-core hackathons bytesize talk:
🍕 In previous years, Seqera has sponsored pizza. We’re not yet sure how much funding will be available in 2025 or what shape it will take, so please don’t plan around this.
📆 There is no closing date for local site registration, however the sooner you register your interest the better. We use the site names in the main registration form and it really helps with planning. Also if we know about your site we’ll have more time to help advertise and get folks to join!
If you have any questions, jump into the #hackathon-mar-2025 channel
on the nf-core Slack and we’ll be happy to help.
