Getting Started

2026 SIIM Hackathon

The SIIM Hackathon will take place Jun 10 – 12, 2026, offering both in-person participation at the SIIM26 Annual Meeting in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and virtual participation from home. In-person participants can collaborate with their teams in the Hackathon Headquarters, located in the InformaticsTECH Exhibit Hall, where tables, whiteboards, and charging stations will be available. The event will culminate in the 2026 Hackathon Showcase on Friday, June 12th in the Exhibit Hall. This session will be live-streamed for all—beyond just SIIM26 registrants—to gain inspiration from this year’s projects.
