– Instant feedback to event organisers.

Venue
The hackathon will take place at the creative district Musicon in Roskilde in connection with the cultural festival Rabalderfestival in August 2018.
Musicon is a new creative district in Roskilde, located in Greater Copenhagen in conjunction to Roskilde Festival which is Northern Europe’s largest culture and music festival.
The area is known as an attractive district with significant cultural institutions, strong volunteering forces and a flourishing business community with many entrepreneurs and startup companies.
Use our creative facilities
Test your ideas directly on a big audience and the creative platform.
Use our concert scenes: Feel free to work with the sound at the outdoor scenes with continuous concerts.
Crowd control and safety: At the Rabalder Festival there will be a large crowd to experiment with – throughout the open-air concerts and pop-up theatre. It is also possible to further develop and improve Musicon’s terrorist protection elements.
Use our smart city lights: The street lighting at Musicon is designed by internationally recognised light designer Jesper Kongshaug and can be programmed as desired. So, if you want to experiment with light as part of crowd control, this is possible in the Musicon district.
Make products in our Orange Makerspace: Orange Makers is a member-driven organisation for do-it-yourself people. In our Tech Workshop you can do Tech + 3D Print + Lasercut and work with digital production, mini computers, 3D printing, laser cutting, soldering and much more. The woodworking station contains everything from hand tools to a full-blown CNC milling machine.
