The event will be held at Bush House, King’s College London, and is open to all inspired hackers who wish to participate in creating impactful blockchain applications. You must have some prior knowledge of blockchain technology to participate.  We are looking for those who are eager to learn and recommend reading up on the technology in advance of the hackathon. We expect participants to have prior knowledge of development or a strong blockchain background (if non-technical).
