Built for hackathons
AgendaForge for hackathons.
Run a hackathon end to end — project intake, judging, schedule, mentors, sponsors, and free registration in one place.
A hackathon is a logistics problem wearing a fun hat. You need a clean way for teams to submit projects, a fair way to judge them against criteria, a schedule that keeps mentors and rooms from colliding, sponsors who feel taken care of, and a front door where builders can register without friction. AgendaForge runs that whole arc from one platform. Project and team intake uses the same branded submission forms that power academic calls for papers; judging uses real reviewer assignment, rubrics, scoring, and review rounds; the agenda builder handles multi-track days with rooms and mentor sessions; and free registration opens on a public event page. Everyone — builders, judges, mentors, sponsors — lives in one directory that carries from one hackathon to the next, so you spend the weekend running the event instead of reconciling five spreadsheets.
The old way
What slows you down today.
Project intake held together with forms and forwards
Teams submit through a generic form, then you copy names, repos, and demo links into a sheet by hand — and chase the half that filled it in wrong.
Judging that nobody trusts
Scores arrive over Slack, email, and a shared doc, criteria drift between judges, and at the end you cannot reconstruct how a winner was actually chosen.
Schedule, mentors, and sponsors in separate worlds
The agenda, the mentor sign-ups, the sponsor commitments, and the registration list each live somewhere else, so a single change means updating four places.
The better way
How AgendaForge helps.
01
Structured project and team submission
Build intake with 16+ field types and conditional logic — repo links, tech stack, team members, demo URLs — with autosaving drafts, co-submitters, and duplicate detection that flags lookalike entries.
02
Real judging, not a group chat
Assign judges to projects, score against shared rubrics, run more than one review round, and keep every score attached to the submission so the outcome is defensible and reproducible.
03
One schedule, one directory, one front door
Plan a multi-track agenda with rooms and mentor sessions, track sponsors in the same CRM as everyone else, and open free registration on a public event page — no separate tools to wire together.
