EVENT DETAILS
Future of Sex's sextech hackathon has been to Australia, to Asia & in August it's coming to New York.
What's a sextech hackathon?
A weekend-long hackathon in which all members will collaborate intensively on creatingsextechproducts. Unlike other hackathons that may require some coding expertise, we are open to all skills & experience levels. Gathering together in teams, you will innovate, & depending on the expertise of the team, generate a working prototype, whether this is a technology product, a design or a campaign.
Who Can Participate?

We welcome people of all job descriptions, whether you're a designer, developer, marketer, entrepreneur, project manager, therapist or sexologist. Diverse groups often work incredibly well together to produce the best results.
In particular, we are focused on making space for, & elevating the voices & perspectives of, women-identified people, although we supportinclusionof all genders & sexualities.

In the next few decades, our sex lives will undergo incredible change.




The roles of apps, websites, robots & VR will continue to expand at the intersection of technology & sexuality,presenting possibilities that are infinite, awe-inspiring & unknown.




A diverse range of voices & ideas are urgently needed to find new & innovative ways to use technology to deliver sex education, products & services for sexual health & wellness, assault reporting & dating.
As an industry, 'sextech' is already estimated to be worth A$20B & is set to become one of the fastest growing multi-billion dollar industries in the next few years.
If you have an idea or want to be involved in an amazing project that can make a difference in people's lives, join us for this ground-breaking hackathon.
What Is Sextech?
Most simply, sextech is any technology designed with the intention of enhancing human sexuality & human sexual experience.
Solutions may cover any of the areas associated with sexual experience from sexual health & wellbeing, to personal safety, choice of sexual experiences, personal dignity in sex, games, entertainment & dating experiences.
Why Should You Care?
Innovations in sextech will allow us to experience, express, & understand our sexualities in ways we never thought possible.

The key value of sextech products & services is that they are designed around relationships, bringing new ideas of intimacy, pleasure & desire to the human experience. While there is plenty of potential in this space, it is largely untapped.
We believe that women-identified technologies & thinkers can influence the direction of this market, while also changing the cultural conversation & attitudes toward female sexuality. This event is designed to be open to all, but our ambition is for women's voices to be contributing elements to all projects arising from our event.
