What is the best time to organize a hackathon?
This will depend on where you are located. However, regardless of your city, hackathons are typically fewer during summer months, Low season is usually defined as November through March. Shoulder season is April through mid-June and September through October. High season is mid-June through August.
If you are in the US or Europe, September–November and then January–April are the hottest months for conducting successful hackathons. Daywise, Saturday–Sunday are the best combination of days.
If your event will have a lot of workshops and keynotes, you might consider starting on a Friday after lunch.

HackerEarth Sprint is a fantastic tool for hackathon organizers. It seriously streamlines many event logistics and is much more functional than similar solutions. HackerEarth Sprint seriously helped reduce the amount of complexity in running our event. It took all of the functionality we needed, and bundled it into an easy to use solution.
