From the backstage blog…

Mashed – it’s Hack Day time again and this year we’ve got a corker of a weekend planned.

Arrive on the Saturday morning and listen to real people from the development world showing you how to build things and how to use the systems that will be available to you through-out the weekend – including a full broadcast TV station with the ability to build and hack your own interactive applications.

As the talks draw to a close the 24 hour hack begins – there’s plenty of food (no it’s not all pizza this year – think pie and mash) – distractions for when you need them and if all goes to plan a special event at midnight.

Sunday plods on to the live presentations at 2pm – hosted by a very very special guest star… if you thought last year was a great time – this year we’ll blow your socks off.

It’s all about you, if you want something let us know and we’ll organise it.

The first 100 tickets have gone live – you can sign up at –http://mashed08.eventbrite.com/ – I’d be quick though – last year the first 100 tickets went in a little over two hours… we’ll be releasing more tickets next week via the partners, but get in early if you want to guarantee your spot!
