What is HackUSU

We're HackUSU, Utah's largest and oldest student-run hackathon. Each year, hundreds of students and professionals meet at Utah State University for competitions and workshops related software, data analytics, hardware, and more!

You won't find malicious basement hackers trying to break into private servers at hackathons. Hackathons are weekend-long events hosted by a variety of universities and colleges across the country who pride themselves in encouraging students to 'hack' a solution to difficult technical problems. The 'hackathon' name has risen in recent years to represent student collaboration and interaction around hardware and software.

Here's what students will be doing at HackUSU 2026:

Team competitions in a variety of categories
Workshops on topics related to software engineering, data analytics, and hardware development
Networking with recruiters and engineers from our sponsor

Why Sponsor?

HackUSU provides a unique medium to bring your company to center stage and interact with the next generation of innovators from around the west. Here are 3 ways that our sponsors benefit the most by getting involved:

Recruiting

What could be better than a building full of ambitious students willing to spend an entire weekend creating and hacking together new tech? Set up a table with us and get unparalleled access to university talent, resumes, interview rooms, and non-stop networking opportunities!

Branding

Sponsorship is a great way to accelerate brand recognition and allow students to explore your product's potential. We have arranged a variety of options for getting your name in front of our hackers including presentations, swag, and custom competition categories!

Appraisal

Would you like to see how both new and experienced developers use your technology or services? You can either sponsor a competition category, or award a separate prize to whichever team you believe utilizes your tech the best.
