Use case
Live engagement for hackathons
From opening keynote to demo judging, keep hackers informed and engaged with live announcements, Q&A, and real-time reactions, priced for a one-off event.
Hackathons move fast, and information gets lost in the noise. EVOCA gives organizers one live channel to reach every participant: for announcements, for questions to mentors, and for the energy of demo day.
From check-in to demo day
Live announcements
Push deadline reminders, meal times, and schedule changes to every participant instantly, with no more shouting over a crowded room.
Q&A for mentors and judges
Hackers ask questions and upvote the ones that matter, so mentors and organizers answer the most common blockers first.
Engagement during demos
During final presentations, the audience reacts and asks questions live, giving judges and teams a real sense of the room.
Instant onboarding
Participants join by scanning a QR code at check-in. No app, no account, and they're connected before the opening keynote ends.
Reactions in the keynote
Opening and closing keynotes come alive with real-time reactions, setting the energy for the whole event.
One-time event pricing
A hackathon is usually a one-off, so a single-event purchase makes more sense than a subscription you won't reuse.
Why hackathon organizers pick EVOCA over Slido
Slido handles Q&A and polls well, but hackathons benefit from live reactions during keynotes and demos, plus pricing that fits a single weekend rather than an annual plan. EVOCA covers both. If you want the detailed trade-offs, read our EVOCA vs Slido comparison.
