If you missed the "How to Run a Hackathon" event, see the slides below

Centric Software Architects Bill Klos, Shawn Wallace, and Morgan Howard hosted an event called "How to Run a Hackathon" in Columbus. More than a dozen attended the event. Based on their experience hosting three hackathons for Centric technologists, the group explained:

• What a hackathon is
• Why technologists love it
• How it benefits companies
• How to start one

The discussion also covered how to execute the event on the “day of” – and what to do to keep the momentum going after the hackathon.
