Music Hack Day is a regular gathering for music and tech enthusiasts. During this event, programmers, designers, thinkers from all over the world meet up and try to create music-related software or hardware hacks during a 24-hour coding marathon. The core team of MuseScore contributors, namely Werner Schweer, Thomas Bonte and Nicolas Froment are regular attendees of the Music Hack Days.
