Great Minnesota Give Back Hack

Bring a problem to the room.

The Give Back Hack opens from the stage. Nonprofits and founders each take two minutes to say who they are and what they need built, and then the room goes to work on it for the day.

Sign up ahead of the day and we will confirm your spot by email as the run of show comes together.

Two minutes on stage
No slides required. Who you are, what is stuck, and what would help.
Teams form around you
Engineers, designers, and business architects pick the problems they can move and work them through the day.
Free to be in the room
Friday, September 18, 2026, 9:00 AM–4:00 PM, at IIM.
