Hi Andrea In my experience most people take a break at night and get some rest - it's simply more effective to get some rest than try and code solidly for a couple of days. I tried that once and I was so tired the second day I might as well have not been there.
No one will stop you from attending and working on your own. Likewise no one is going to force you to demo anything if you don't want to. Erika is right: hackathons are a great way to meet other developers and learn new stuff. It's just more fun (IMHO) working in a team.
