No other city embraces the intertwined relationship between fashion, technology, and the future more than San Francisco does. With the city being known as the hub where technology and fashion intermix, this year’s San Francisco Fashion Week ™ calendar marks a two-day #DisruptFashion Hackathon.

While a typical Hackathon is aimed toward computer programmers and developers, the #DisruptFashion hackathon invites participants off all backgrounds who are trend and tech savvy. Our vision is to bring together individuals in a space where they can meet like-minded creatives and work together as a team. These teams will collaborate on a project and find solutions for industry challenges including digital fashion shopping for men, real-time tracking, closet monetization, luxury + e-commerce, and other challenges as well.

The event will give participants the opportunity to network with other designers, developers, business professionals, technologists, and futurists and will allow them to share their bright ideas with each other. Participants will also gain access to leading industry experts as coaches and judges during the 2-day event. Winners will receive prizes including co-working space memberships, technology assets, and more. Show less

Mobile device site visit share has nearly doubled from 2012 to around 25% on average today and the sales conversion rate on mobile tablets has surpassed traditional for the very first time.
