Chi Hack Night

Chi Hack Night is a free, weekly event to build, share, and learn about tools to create, support, and serve the public good.

We are a group of thousands of designers, academic researchers, data journalists, activists, policy wonks, web developers, and curious citizens who want to make Chicago more just, equitable, transparent, and delightful to live in through data, design, and technology.

Since 2012, we have hosted over 600 events, featuring presentations from folks working in tech, journalism, nonprofits, government, and many other fields. Our events also include breakout group sessions, during which attendees can learn and work together on websites and solutions to serve all Chicagoans.

Currently, we meet once a month in person and three times a month virtually. Everyone is welcome at our events.
