How long do I have to hack?

Can I build my hack before the event?

Would I be able to volunteer?
We're almost full up on volunteers but it would be worth shooting us an email - uk@mlh.io
Can I sleep at the venue?
Yes! Bloomberg has an epic building and we'll do our best to make it really nice for you to crash. You are welcome to leave overnight to sleep in a real bed, but real hackers sleep over at the venue!
