Team offsites

A hack week or hackathon away from the office

A hack week is about long stretches of focused building, short feedback loops and a demo at the end. Taking the team away from daily work makes it easier to protect that focus, and building something together in a few days is good for the team as well.

The venue has to work as an office first: reliable, fast Wi-Fi, enough tables and power sockets, and a room where everyone can watch the demos. Everything else, from a garden to walk in to a dinner cooked for you, makes the long days easier.

Duration3 to 5 days
Group6 to 40 people
Most importantFast, reliable Wi-Fi
  • Wi-Fi speed in Mbps, confirmed by the venue; ask for a test or bring a 4G/5G router as a backup.
  • A desk or table space and a power socket for everyone, plus extension leads.
  • A room with a screen or projector for stand-ups and the final demos.
  • Quiet places to focus and a place to talk, apart from each other.
  • Meals on site, so the team does not lose an hour every evening.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know the Wi-Fi is fast enough?

Venue pages show the Wi-Fi speed when it is known, and say “to be confirmed” otherwise. For venues on request we ask the venue before you book.

How many days does a hack week take?

Many teams plan three to five working days, with travel on the first and last day. A short hackathon of two days fits a long weekend or a venue close to home.

Can we book a venue with a desk for everyone?

Some do. Describe your team in the AI search, for example “a desk and a screen for everyone and very fast Wi-Fi”, and it looks for venues that fit and explains why. Anything not yet confirmed is marked.

Tell us about your team and wishes. We'll put together a shortlist of venues that fit and send it to you.
