The State of the League (2020)

These are the slides that I presented during the keynote address of MLH Hackcon VIII.

This is going to be a HUGE year for hackers. Join me as I walk through everything the MLH community has achieved in the last year and lay the path forward for all we can achieve together in the coming one. This annual address serves as Major League Hacking's B-Corp Impact Report.
