Already collecting registrations on another platform? Bring your participants into HackHQ in minutes - no API keys or paid plans required.

Why Import into HackHQ?

Smart Auto-Detection

HackHQ automatically detects column types from your CSV - names, emails, and custom fields are mapped for you.

Duplicate Handling

Already have some participants registered? HackHQ automatically detects duplicates by email so you never import someone twice.

Custom Field Mapping

Map any CSV column to HackHQ fields. Bring over team names, dietary preferences, T-shirt sizes, or any data you collected.

HackHQ Fits Your Workflow

Already collecting registrations?

Keep using Luma, Eventbrite, or Devpost for sign-ups. Import your participants when you're ready, and let HackHQ handle what those tools can't - team submissions, structured judging, and live results that adapt to any event.

Starting your next event?

Skip the patchwork of tools. HackHQ handles registration too, so you can run your entire hackathon on one purpose-built platform and focus on mentorship and community instead of juggling spreadsheets.

Ready to Leave the Spreadsheets Behind?

Whether you're importing existing registrations or starting fresh, HackHQ gives you a purpose-built hackathon platform so you can lead innovation instead of wrestling with logistics.

Switch to a Purpose-Built Hackathon Platform

Most hackathon organizers start with general-purpose event platforms like Luma or Eventbrite for registration. But when it comes to team submissions, judging, and live results, those tools fall short. HackHQ bridges the gap by letting you import your existing registrations and unlock features built specifically for hackathons and competitions.

Keep using your favorite registration tool - just export and import when you're ready

Built-in registration, project submissions, and judging workflows designed for hackathons
