Yes most hackathons are crap but I will say one I attend (or at least try to mostly due to how I work) is the HL7 FHIR Connectathons. Its for an altruistic purpose (making healthcare data easier to exchange) and there are always a slew of topics, vendors, visionaries, and options. You will have these 1-2 day sessions where people are trying out things hitting each others servers or clients. Its a worldwide consortium thing with both online and in person meetups. Its worth it if you are into the field.
