Register today for the 2026 Hacks with Friends (HWF) — a hack event sponsored by the U-M Office of the VPIT-CIO. HWF is a spirited hackathon open to staff and faculty across all four University of Michigan campuses who work with, contribute to, or utilize tech and IT in ways that advance the institution's mission. Break away from their everyday activities and have some fun doing what they do best in a friendly competition. The 2026 Hacks with Friends (HWF) will take place on March 5 & 6 at the Ross School of Business.  
NOTE: Register by the end of the day on Tuesday, February 24, to be included in the count for meals at the event. Registering after the deadline does not guarantee that meals will be available for you. You will need to find lunch on your own.
