Additionally, they will gain access to special networking opportunities with our event sponsors and the chance to present their project in a thrilling Shark-Tank inspired showcase, among other exciting perks – but spots are limited, so register soon!
How do I become a HackOlympian?
Admission into HackOlympians requires completing a special challenge in addition to registering.

How is HackOlympians different from standard HackIllinois attendance?
HackIllinois is a historically welcoming space for coders of all skill levels, particularly those who are just starting out. This inclusive environment encourages beginner-level coders to engage and learn, while HackOlympians caters to more advanced participants, fostering a competitive and stimulating atmosphere for seasoned hackers.
All attendees from both paths will enjoy access to Hacklllinois's vibrant array of events, workshops, company Q&As, and the Company Expo. Each path will maintain the spirit of inclusivity and learning to ensure that all attendees, regardless of their track, experience the full magic of HackIllinois!
Additionally, all HackIllinois attendees are eligible to compete in all our sponsored tracks.*
