This referrer will also be your point of contact (POC) throughout the hackathon, so don’t forget to mention their unique referral code when filling out the form.
  • If you don’t know any referrer and found this hackathon online, use the name of the platform where you discovered the hackathon or simply use "PLENA" as your referral code.
