Summary

Providing a healthy environment is crucial for attendees' happiness and well-being during hackathons, which are increasingly focused on addressing issues like burnout, mindfulness, and overall wellbeing. Incorporating wellness into the event can lead to a successful outcome where attendees feel comfortable and have enough recovery time before returning to their daily routine. This can be achieved by providing healthy food options, creating quiet spaces, considering the duration of the event, offering wellbeing sessions such as massages or yoga, choosing a venue with shower facilities, managing temperature, scheduling fun activities, and leveraging sponsorships to support wellness initiatives.
