Hack‘n’Talk 2015 is a three-day weekend featuring fun and collaborative hacking sessions that harness innovative creativity from various communities to empower the future of wearable technology and fashion innovation.
WHAT YOU WILL HEAR
An exciting lineup of guest panelists talking about their provisos experience at last year's Hack'nTalk, their entrepreneurial journey, innovation in fashion, wearable technology, and creativity. Nothing boring, just pure inspiration.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
There is a visible problem in the wearable technologies space; wearable gadgets are dying out due to low adoption by the consumer. At this year's event you'll have a chance to attend two unique workshops on Practical Aesthetics and Colour Theory to learn basics of fashion design. Everything you need to know to build and design your fashionable prototype.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
We are creating a safe and collaborative environment for you to experiment, innovate, meet friends and create amazing stuff. We know you’ll love it.
The cost to participate is only $15 - Score! And that's including registration fee - Yep. We hope to educate, inspire and empower participants to become the next generation of fashion and tech entrepreneurs.
