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.

Thank you for the great experience at TBCON. As a first time attendee, I was impressed with everyone's generous sharing of ideas, examples, and tips in such a friendly and casual atmosphere. As a moderate ToolBook user, I picked up several ideas applicable to my work. As a total Flash newbie, I feel like I got a grasp of the basics in a very short period of time, and I am inspired to try some Flash development.

We learned tips and tricks that will pay for our trip almost immediately.

Not like the typical stuffy conference. Probably because there were no vendors trying to impress others with flashy exhibits.
