Bestbrains Hack Summit
Bestbrains Hack Summit is a 2-day event where we meet up at a off-site location and hack on pet projects and similar.
Hack Summit gives everyone an opportunity to:
- learn and evaluate new technology
- hear about other experiences of techniques and tools
- try out ideas for products
- focus on a task for 2 days
- get to know each other, and people who wish to join Bestbrains
- flee family chores ;)
Why is it called Bestbrains Hack Summit?
We like the combination of the slightly unserious “Hack” and the quite pretentious “Summit”.
Purpose
Part of our idea is to always keep learning new things, and to dedicate 20% of our time to personal development. The Hack Summit concept is part of this.
