Join us in planning Hacks/Hackers for 2018
We're almost there, hacks and hackers! 2018 is just around a turn of the Earth, and we've got a serious lineup of journalism and innovation events. If you'd like to find even more, check out the GIJN calendar or Colorado organizer Abigail Edge's website.
If you'd like to be involved in planning the next year for Hacks/Hackers, or even if you'd just like to know what's going on, we've got our first open call coming up on Wednesday.
