We are a team of volunteers who drummed up this event for you. For two days, we will brain and hack on humanitarian aid, climate change and disaster risk reduction problems. We are a satellite event, so we got funding from local sponsors. The event counts on each of you to help us make it great.
So, really, YOU are the event : )
