This is the final call for talks, exhibits, workshops, and gaming for this year's Hax Festival. Experience the hackerspace across an entire weekend, June 4-7, 2026.
This year we've decided to align with the MEME festival schedule. A free Thursday night reception/mixer at 8pm is happening where DJs from Toronto will cross over with our Winnipeg scene.
Thor has a special Friday night movie night lined-up.
A 3am MEME after party is also tentatively in the works TBA.
Talks of interest to a broad hackerspace community will held on the morning and afternoon of Saturday June 6.
So far we have four talks lined up and room for three more. An honouria will be offered for this. Please refer us to new voices if you don't have something to present.
What have you built, broken or learned about recently? We'd like to hear about it.
Presentations do not need to be about information technology (which is always welcome). We've hosted speakers telling us about their garden hacks, their life hacks, and how to save wildlife.
Exhibits and small hands on workshops are another way to share your experiences with our community. These take place in the cozy back of our space and can be scheduled for the busy Saturday and/or the extra chill festival Sunday (June 7).
Gaming, especially, table-top gaming is also a favourite way to connect. If you'd like to host a session, let us know.
All of these chill things can happen spontaneously, but if you let us know in advance we can include it in our advertising and schedule.
See you in June!
