About this event

Running a community is harder than it looks. The tools we rely on are expensive, hostile, fragmented, or simply not built with organisers in mind. Meetup.com frustrates your members with constant upsells. Slack prices you out once you grow. Sponsorship and money management have no obvious starting point. Speakers fall through the cracks. New members struggle to find you in the first place.

Most community organisers are quietly hacking around all of this, building their own systems, stitching together open source tools, sharing spreadsheets, losing institutional knowledge every time a volunteer moves on.

This hack day is for people who want to fix that together.

We’re bringing together community organisers, developers, and platform builders for a day of shared problem-solving and hands-on building at Newspeak House. The scope is the full community infrastructure stack: event management, promotion and discoverability, communications, member onboarding, speaker pipelines, sponsorship handling, finances, interoperability between tools, and more.

The format is open. We’ll map the problem space together, form teams around the most compelling ideas, and spend the day building stuff.

You can change projects, merge with another team, or start something new at any point.

If you organise a meetup, run an online community, or build tools for people who do, this day is for you.

Brought to you by the organisers of PyData London, AI Signals, notanother.pizza, and more.
