Lift Up MKE appreciates the support and commitment from all these organizations, who have joined us in the early stages to support this inaugural event.

We know from experience a traditional hackathon can be intimidating. We are committed to providing a safe, fun, and supportive environment where all identifying women and non-binary individuals from all backgrounds and experience levels can have a fantastic weekend seeing their ideas come to life, exploring their technical abilities, meeting others and learning.

Hack a Pipeline will be held yearly to continue the collaboration and learning that is needed to lift up diversity in technology. There are limited seats available at this year’s inaugural event; registration for Hack a Pipeline hackathon is at www.liftupmke.com/about-hack-a-pipeline
