DC416 Summer Mixer + Hacker Jeopardy

Toronto (venue in your RSVP confirmation)

Thursday July 16 · Evening

A social night. Hacker Jeopardy is back for the first time since 2022.

Two teams, Blue and Red, assigned at the door. Everyone gets one cue card at check-in. First card in the air answers. The catch: the person who knows the answer isn't always the person still holding a card. Categories are being built from community suggestions in the DC416 Discord.

50 seats. First come, first served. Venue and check-in details land in your RSVP confirmation email.
