 Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) will be hosting Discover 2023 from June 20-22 at the Venetian Convention and Expo Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. The HPE Developer Community team is excited to be there once again to greet customers and partners in the Hack Shack. There will be some exciting changes this year. Read on to learn more about what will be happening in the Hack Shack!
 
 ## What’s new for the Hack Shack?
+
 Since 2017, the HPE Hack Shack has been enjoyed by developers as a place to meet with HPE software engineers and other software subject matter experts, to brainstorm about solutions to issues they may be experiencing back home, and to learn a bit more about what HPE is doing in the software space. It’s also provided an opportunity for attendees to enjoy a little down time, relaxing over a few games and software-focused Hack Shack challenges.
 
 This year, the Hack Shack will serve as the Technology Hub for technologists of all types; be they developers, data scientists, ITOps or DevOps personnel. It will be the home base for the HPE Office of the Chief Technology Officer (CTO), where you’ll be able to meet and chat with engineering representatives and subject matter experts (SMEs) who work on the HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform. Here, you’ll get to have in-depth conversations about the platform that was created to eliminate complexity, delivering a cloud experience for customer workloads wherever their data may be. 
 
 The Hack Shack will complement the CTO Theater, where over a dozen different HPE GreenLake platform sessions will take place covering everything from platform APIs to future innovations, by providing a place where you can continue the conversations and hone in on any specific questions you might have.
