Hack Ack
Contest Information:
This lighthearted contest is focused on fun and spontaneity. Attendees will
learn of the guidelines the week before the conference. They will then have
until Tuesday evening to create something along the theme. Use of items
prepared prior to the competition is not allowed, unless these items are
available to everyone.
Everyone is encouraged to participate in this contest. Teams are equally good as
individuals. Even employees of Platte Canyon or
SumTotal Systems may participate, but they may only do so on an exhibition
basis (no awards or judging for them).
Judging is by audience applause and will occur immediately after all entries are
presented.
Hack Ack presentations will be interspersed with Karaoke/Rock Band performances
-- so showmanship may certainly rank high among the "judges."
How to Enter
Show up! There is no entry procedure. We will simply ask for anyone who wants
to present their Hack-Ack entry to sign up on a notepad at the beginning of the
Tuesday evening social.
Also, it will be up to each participant to arrange for a laptop to demo the
application on. We will have one or two machines if needed, but this should be
arranged ahead of time.
It's all about fun.

This was another great conference with a tremendous amount of useful information shared. It's always great to come and see old friends and acquaintances. Jeff, as always, did a fantastic job.

This was a small price to pay that will result in major savings on current and future development projects.

A sincere thank you to Jeff Rhodes and the gang at Platte Canyon, including Chris Bell's Mom, for sponsoring a first class conference. It is now and in the years to come THE conference to attend specifically for developers.

Great conference! How you guys pull it off with only 24 hrs in a day (and be able to play basketball) amazes me.
