imed at North East developers, designers and creative technologists, this event will inspire you to think differently about the opportunities posed by collaborating with cultural and arts organisations and practitioners. Inspired by the ethos of Hack Days, the CultureCode Initiative will conclude with a CultureCode Hack, enabling the developer community to use open data for low-risk digital prototyping whilst developing exciting new working relationships.

At the CultureCode Encounter, we will introduce you to the CultureCode Hack whilst inspiring you with some awesome presentations from developers and artists who are already working in this space. The presenters will share with you some unexpected ways of working with the cultural sector.

The CultureCode Hack will give you the freedom to show off your geeky wizardry but with a whole new array of open source data. The CultureCode Hack will give you an opportunity to meet new people, inspire and influence a group of senior cultural professionals and even develop new clientele. The CultureCode Encounter is the start of this process.
