The BornHack 2026 kickoff meeting will be on Thursday the 14th of May at Hylkedam from 13-18. We booked the venue for the full week like last year, so volunteers are welcome to show up from Monday the 11th of May, and you can stay until Sunday the 17th of May.

The days before and after the main thing on Thursday the 14th are intended as a combination of relaxation, fun and team activities. We only have an official program on Thursday (and a little bit on Friday). We hope many of you want to join us for an early start on this years BornHack fun! It is a great opportunity for existing and new volunteers to select which teams to participate on, and help get those teams started.

You can choose to participate only in the actual kickoff on 14th of May, or you can grab a bed in one of the cabins or bring a tent or caravan and stay for a few nights or the whole week. Expect the whole thing to be a casual combination of team activities and relaxation.

Note: We will no longer be doing introductions of all the teams as part of the kickoff. If you need an introduction to a team in addition to what is on the website you can get it from the team leads.

Food

Participating in the kickoff is free, and food will be available all week. We will need help with cooking and/or clean up around meals. Food is free on Thursday, the other days food will cost 100,- DKK/HAX (around 14€) per person per day. Note that the kitchen in the cabin will not be available for personal cooking, it is exclusively for cooking the shared meals.

Streaming

We will do our best to make the kickoff available virtually, but the internet connection at Hylkedam is not very good between BornHacks, so no promises. If all goes well you can follow the live-stream at xgsobitduxv7gcc5qlveigwiku7qcjn5exf4ayusw4mwq7kfrapmrjyd.onion or live.bornhack.dk
