Posner Poverty Hack 2.0

Take A Break From Your Day Job

Spend 2.5 days tackling global poverty issues.

Have you ever wanted to drop everything you're doing, quit your day job, and spend your time and skills supporting change in the developing world?

Leaving your day job permanently might not be feasible...
but join us July 10th - 12th, 2016 at the Posner Poverty Hack for a short escape.

We've asked our nonprofit organizations to tell us about unique challenges they face in their work - challenges that they can't solve on their own, that require input from people with fresh perspectives and experience in diverse technical and social sectors. We're putting together groups of individuals to work in teams and competitively group problem solve - or "hack" - potential solutions during the 2.5-day Poverty Hack.

This means we need you.

We need your skills, your experience, your energy - whatever you can bring to the table. Whether it's a background in IT and software development, a track record of starting businesses, or a basic passion for international issues, you have something to offer.

So what are you waiting for? Learn about the challenges and register today.
T-shirt, meals, beer, fun and new friends included.
