What to expect

Campaign Lab’s Summer Hack Night brings technologists and political organisers together in London on 7 September to build tools for progressive campaigning.

Build technology for better campaigns

This three-hour, bi-weekly working session offers practical space to develop tech side projects that could help the progressive left campaign more effectively. Bring an idea or existing project of your own, or contribute your skills to one of Campaign Lab’s ongoing initiatives.

The hack night is presented by Campaign Lab, a community of politically minded progressive data scientists, researchers and activists. Its members work together to build new election tools and change how political election campaigning is analysed and understood. The emphasis is on collaborative, evidence-based campaign innovation rather than requiring attendees to arrive with a finished concept.

Who should attend?

The event welcomes a broad mix of people, including:

  • Technologists and data specialists
  • Activists and political organisers
  • Campaigners and researchers
  • People interested in the intersection of politics and technology
  • Newcomers curious about evidence-based innovation on the progressive left

No particular experience level is specified, and you do not need to have your own project to take part. The option to support an ongoing project makes the evening accessible to first-time attendees as well as people already building political technology.

Practical details

The session runs from 7:00pm to 10:00pm on Monday 7 September 2026 at Newspeak House, 133 Bethnal Green Road, London E2 7DG.

Bring a laptop and be ready to work collaboratively. Snacks and drinks are provided, helping create an informal environment in which attendees can build, exchange ideas and meet others working across progressive politics, research, data and campaigning.
