Hackathons and similar time-bounded events are a global phenomenon. Theirproliferation in various domains and their usefulness for a variety of goalshas led to the emergence of different formats. While there are a multitude ofguidelines available on how to prepare and run a hackathon, most of them focuson a particular format that was created for a specific purpose within a domainfor a certain type of participant. This makes it difficult, in particular, fornovice organizers to decide how to run an event that fits their needs. Toaddress this gap we developed the original version of this planning kit in 2020which focused on in-person events that were the dominant form of hackathonsthen. That planning kit was organized around 12 key decisions that organizersneed to take when preparing for, running, and following up on a hackathon. Fastforward to 2025, after going through a global pandemic that forced all eventsto move online, we now see different forms of events - in-person, online, andhybrid - taking place across the globe, and while they can be all valuable,they have different affordances and require different considerations whenplanning. To account for these differences, we decided to update the originalplanning kit by adding a section that discusses the affordances andrequirements of in-person, online, and hybrid events to each of the 12decisions. In addition, we modified the original example timelines to includedifferent forms and types of events. We also updated the planning kit ingeneral based on insights we gained through continuing to organize and studyhackathons. The main planning kit is available online while this report ismeant to be a downloadable and citable resource.
