organizers interested in hosting local hackathon sites :tada:

Anyone is welcome to host a site: you don't need to be an expert or have prior experience with hackathons.
All you need is enthusiasm and access to a dedicated space for the duration of the event.

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:

1. ✍️ Fill in the local site registraion form below
2. 👩🏻‍💻 Coordinate with the hackathon organisers to create a site-specific webpage on this website
3. 📢 Advertise - both locally and online
4. ☎️ During the event: act as a contact point with the hackathon organisers

:pizza: 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.

:calendar: 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](https://nfcore.slack.com/archives/C081XQ6T3M4)
on the [nf-core Slack](https://nf-co.re/join#slack) and we'll be happy to help.
