What is HillHacks?

Hillhacks is an un-conference held in the lap of the stunning Dhauladhar
Himalayas every summer. People from different places, walks of life and
lines of thought, come together, to share, collaborate and learn. Hackers
talk code. Artists share their creativity. Students join in from schools
and colleges to learn new skills. Locals and Globals mix and mingle.

HillHacks provides space and place for various temporary hackspaces with
technology, art and education workshops, leading into a conference and
maker exhibition in Dharamsala, India. This region in the foothills of the
Himalayas is directly affected by a concrete idea of freedom as it hosts
the Tibetan Community in Exile.
