The Orioles, in conjunction with the consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton, are hosting a Baseball Analytics Hackathon on Friday, February 5th. It will be an all-day affair, and there will be food provided throughout the day, so that you don’t need to burn precious brain space worrying about where to go eat. Which is nice.

Hackathons are generally an excellent way to expose oneself to people in the industry, and this particular event comes with the added bonus of having data scientists from one of the largest consulting firms in the world on hand as well. Not too shabby. As if that wasn’t enough, there will be prizes awarded for the top projects.

If you’re interested, you need to move quickly, as registration closes this Friday, Jan. 22. One neat item is that you don’t have to register individually, you can also register as a group. This would seem to insure that if you and a group of friends want to attend that you don’t have to worry about being split up on arrival.

Below is the poster for the event, and you can follow this link to register. Happy hacking!
