@idbthor I run a wearable/iOT hackathon called WearHacks.com and I tried reason from first principles.

What is essential for a hackathon? 0- Branding: Sponsorship Decks and "About us" documentation. 1- A Venue 2- A Food provider 3- Sponsors 4- Judges 5- Mentors

Make Three teams:

Operations: In Charge of the schedule/logistics and 1,2

Sponsorship: In charge of 3,4,5

Community/Marketing: In charge of getting the hackers and can help get community mentors.

Hope I helped! If you have any other questions email me at shehaaz @ WearHacks.com
