Eighteen non-profits, 180 web professionals and 24 hours of organized web design chaos is on tap for March 26th and 27th as the 4th annual Nerdery Overnight Website Challenge takes place.
Spyder Trap’s Jeff Wagner, Perry Govier and I will be part of the Concrete5.MN team competing and donating a full blown website to a Minnesota non-profit.
Web teams and non-profits met for a speed dating Web Challenge mixer on March 14th.
A pre-event mixer (photos) took place this past week to allow web teams and non-profits a chance to engage in a “speed dating” session to learn more on each other. This pre-event was a whirl in itself talking to 18 different groups in under 2 hours … I can only imagine what’s in-store for us during the 24 hour event.
Using Web Design Skills For Great Causes
Over the years I’ve been lucky to have the chance to donate my talents and full websites to other non-profits. The Overnight Web Challenge is a great example of taking this to another level. In this, it’s 4th year, the event has grown to 18 teams.
This year alone, over 50 non-profits applied for this incredible opportunity to get a new web design from talented Minneapolis area web designers and developers.
Join The Ride
I can’t wait for the event, the excitement, the chaos, the teamwork and especially the outcome of making a great website for a deserving group in just 24 hours. Myself and other members of the Concrete5.MN team will be tweeting, updating Facebook, sharing photos and likely even video throughout the event. Why should we hog all the fun?
