Welcome to HacktionLab

HacktionLab is a UK-European collective of technologists, activists, social agitators, and generally interested people that helps create spaces for collaboration and the exchange of ideas and experiences.

HacktionLab has been in existence since 2008 and has helped organise some twenty events in multiple locations across the UK.

How does HacktionLab do this?

We are a volunteer and loosely-knit group of people based primarily in the UK but also in continental Europe and Ireland that gather to share the projects the individual members are involved in. We will bring our experience and our own content to where you are and support you in hosting an event.

Where and when was the last HacktionLab?

The last HacktionLab was held in Sheffield in June 2023. See https://hacktionlab.org/index.php?title=HacktionLab_Summer_2023 for more information.

Where and when is the next HacktionLab?

This is to be decided. There are proposals in for Bradford, and maybe Bristol or Bath. If you're interested in hosting one, see our FAQ about this.

I'd like to host a HacktionLab. How do I do that?

Read through HOWTO Host A HacktionLab, and then get in touch via the mailing list.

How do I get involved in HacktionLab?

We don't have a formal organisation and there is therefore no form of actual membership. The best place to start getting involved is to either propose to host a HacktionLab Gathering, or join our Mailing LIst.
