This past weekend was the first Iowa City Hackathon, expertly pulled together by dev/iowa and the local tech community. I had the pleasure of quickly stopping in for a few hours on Saturday and I can say I felt the event was a great success and hope it turns into an annual occurrence. I'm confident everyone there had a blast, and I think Zach Sanderson really came through in the clutch to pull the event together in a relatively short period of time. Here is a post-event interview with Zach, written by Sarah Binder from We Create Here, in which Bio::Neos gets a shout-out because of my upcoming involvement in the dev/iowa bootcamp this summer.

If you like the idea of a Hackthon in Iowa City, make sure to let Zach know that you'd love to see this happen again in 2016!
