CW17 will follow the unconference philosophy—where attendees get to to choose which proposed discussions get to be happen, what problems they solve in the collaborative ideas sessions and which team they want to join for the Hackday.  In addition there will be lightning talks, keynote addresses, speed blogging, mini-workshops on selected topics and a social programme to support networking. The CW format offers a novel way to support its themes which attendees find both useful and enjoyable. 
The CW Hackday starts on the evening of 28th March 2017, which allows participants to realise the ideas coming from the Collaborations Workshop. Successful hack projects need not all be code—they can include any combination of software, specifications, guidance and other materials - enabling people from all backgrounds to participate.
The Hackday will focus on topics related to the theme of the workshop. There will be prizes for the best team efforts. Remember good hacks are cool, better ones are potentially impactful.
