RustWeek Hackathon
Kinepolis Jaarbeurs Utrecht, Jaarbeursboulevard 300, Utrecht, NLWe’re excited to welcome everyone attending RustWeek 2026 for another collaborative day of coding!
This year, we’re partnering up with Zed and Kiesraad (Dutch Electoral Council) to bring you some fun challenges to hack on.
Your friendly hackathon organizers are still pulling together details but we'll open the Discord channel soon with more details including hackathon tracks, prizes, and schedule for the day.
And you will not be alone!
- From Kiesraad, the Electoral Council’s Abacus engineers will be on-site to collaborate with you on software for election results and seat allocation, with several good first issues and challenges, and they would love your input and proof-of-concept ideas!
- From Zed, we will have no less than seven devs from the Zed team ready to pair with you. This will be a great chance to get started with Zed (if you don't use it already), and work on some cool issues and projects together.
You do not need a ticket to the RustWeek conference to attend the hackathon. The hackathon is free of charge; we will provide coffee, tea, lunch and refreshments.
The hackathon will be held at Kinepolis, the same venue as the conference.
Schedule
Doors open: 9:00
Opening: 9.30
Hacking Begins: 10.00
Demos and wrap up: 6.00We will keep you supplied with food and drinks during and after the hackathon.
