Community meetups and outdoor activities, friendly competitions, and special side events, this year is about staying connected beyond the usual conference format.

Our focus goes beyond talks and terminals. We’re bringing the community together through real-world interaction — sports activities, casual tournaments, and shared experiences that build stronger bonds outside the usual hacker spaces.

ROOTCON 20 isn’t just about what happens on stage. It’s about showing up, moving together, and building community all year round — long before the main conference dates.

Registration: ₱2,500.00

Step away from the screen. Step onto the fairway.

Before ROOTCON 20 officially begins, we disconnect from devices and reconnect with the community.

Off the Grid: Hacker’s Cup is a relaxed pre-con golf experience built around camaraderie, conversation, and shared moments. There are no brackets, no podiums, no pressure.

Just good swings and better conversations.
