Participant Preparation Program

Selected participants will have access to a series of pre-event activities designed to help teams connect, prepare and maximise their impact during TAK-HACK26.

Networking Mixer

Prior to the hackathon weekend, participants will have the opportunity to meet fellow competitors, mentors, judges, sponsors and members of the broader Defence and technology ecosystem.

The mixer provides an informal environment to build connections, discuss ideas and begin forming relationships ahead of the event.

Pitch Training

Strong ideas deserve strong communication.

Participants will have access to pitch preparation sessions covering presentation structure, storytelling, demonstration techniques and judging expectations to help teams prepare for the final showcase and awards presentation.

TAK & Challenge Briefings

A series of briefings and workshops will be delivered ahead of the event to familiarise participants with the TAK ecosystem, challenge requirements and available resources.

These sessions are designed to help teams arrive prepared and ready to start building from Day One.

Exclusive Participant Resources

Registered participants will receive access to supporting resources, technical materials and event updates in the lead-up to TAK-HACK26.

Further details and registration links will be provided following participant selection.
