At NEARCON 2023, hackers are in for a treat with the introduction of Hacker HQ, an exclusive space dedicated to hackers. Not only do hackers gain free access to the event, but they also have a designated location at Armazem 16 in Lisbon, Portugal, where they can network, collaborate, and work on their projects, whether it's for the Hackathon or ongoing development on NEAR's Blockchain Operating System (BOS). The Hackathon itself spans from November 7th to 10th, featuring orientation, team matching, mentoring, and a welcome party on the first day. Participants can vie for over $140k in prizes, and those needing visa support must apply by October 7, 2023. Travel stipends may be available based on location, and additional details about NEARCON IRL Hackathon bounties will be revealed soon. #News #NMN
