Workshops, Meetings, and Facilitation
Hackathons
Hackathons
A hackathon is an event typically lasting 24 to 48 hours in which people come together to creatively solve problems.
Although in many cases hackathons focus on developing and testing software prototypes, they do not always involve technology.
Hackathons are unlike any other workshops. A hackathon is an exciting, energizing, intense competition-charged event that engages participants with customer centric approaches to bring outside-of-the-box ideas driving innovation and entrepreneurial thinking.
