Indy Hackers
Summer Slam 2017
Come join your fellow hackers for our inaugural summer event - the SUMMER SLAAAAAAAAAM!
We're trying out something new this year - a summer event to complement our traditional Holiday Social, with the hopes we'll be able to make some new friends, reconnect with old friends, and in general spend more time with our local hacker community.
Join us Sunday, August 6th, from 2PM to 7pm, at Bent Rail Brewery in Broad Ripple! We will have the first ever Indy Hackers' Summer Slam. Everyone is welcome! Pythonistas, Javanese, COBOLians, Scalanites, PHPers, Rubyists, .NET nuts, Perlsians -- the works. No offense if we've forgotten your language of choice (there are a lot of programming languages).
Good news for the parents in the audience - this is a kid-friendly event, and we hope you'll come and bring the next generation of Indianapolis hackers with you. As always, this event is completely free.
If you're into hacking, we want to see you. Come by, drink some drinks, have some food, and have some fun in the sun with your fellow hackers.

How is this being put together? / How can you help?
Back in 2010, a couple of us simply wanted to get together with a few of our friends, who almost all happened to be programmers. We loved the company of fellow hackers, so we decided to invite more.
The local community of software professionals in this city are amazing, and once we started to get together, people began getting more and more excited about how to make it better the next year.
We've got some new faces on the Indy Hackers board (including some old faces) and we're trying a lot of new things to help bring the greater Indianapolis Hacker community together. Like the Summer Slam. We hope you'll join us, and have a great time.
I'm a "home for hackers"...

Hiring a Developer?
The single best way to hire a developer, is by being connected to the community. If we know you, and how awesome your mission is, how incredible you work environment is, and how much love you have for the community at large, I guarantee you we will think of you first when we are looking for our next adventure.
-
Increase Awareness of your Company?
Sometimes it isn't about recruiting...sometimes you are just proud of what you are doing, and want others in the tech world to be more aware of it. This is a great opportunity to show us what you have cooking!
-
Just want to support Local Developer Community?
We all know what the world thinks of "West Coast Engineers" and "East Coast Coders"...well, we are incredibly proud of what we are doing right here in the mighty MidWest. If you want to help us showcase that, supporting events like this goes a long way towards that goal.
For more information on how to become a sponsor, check out the Sponsorship PDF and/or just e-mail us! Absolutely all sponsor money goes toward the event.
I am a hacker...

Want to do more with IndyHackers?
This is all acomplished because a few folks really love the local community, and wanted a way to bring it together. Do you have ideas about how we can make this better? We would love to talk to you! Come chat with us on the Indy Hackers Slack channel
-
Help other folks have a slammin' Summer?
As much as we love giving back by bringing all of this amazing talent together...we also know that this is an incredible opportunity to give back to those less fortunate as well. This year we'll be matching donations given at the event to Second Helpings, an Indianapolis based charity that repurposes unused restaurant food, delivers meals to those in need, and provide culinary training to disadvantaged adults.
Want to give early? Contribute at our campaign site, and help us help others.
-
Want to startup a new meetup?
This is the perfect time to start up a group of hackers that may be feeling alone...if you have an idea for a new meetup, but just do not know how to get it started, come talk with us...we have been running local meetups for years, and can help point you in the right direction, and maybe even jump start membership by announcing it at this year's summer slam.
