LavinMQ Code Summit retrospective: more than just coding
Written by: Sofie Abrahamsson
June 3rd was a big day for us at LavinMQ – it was the date of our very first Hackathon, LavinMQ Code Summit!
We were very excited and a bit nervous about this, but wow, what a day! It became about so much more than just coding, technology, or even solving specific challenges. It was about the people!
We were surrounded by individuals who are smart, creative, brave, and driven by a passion for innovation. Seeing these brilliant minds come together and collaborate was truly inspiring and fun.
This hackathon came to life because Google is launching its new data region in Sweden, and together with us, they wanted to generate some buzz around it. But for us it was so much more than that. We created this hackathon to bring together minds that think differently. We wanted to create a space where ideas flourish, where strangers become teammates, and where prototypes might just become the next big thing.
This first LavinMQ Code Summit was a test run for us, but it was an undeniable success. We were thrilled to have five fantastic teams competing in our challenges, bringing their unique perspectives and skills to the table. Thanks to the diverse backgrounds and expertise present, this event was a rich source of new knowledge for everyone. It was clear that both participants and our team benefited from the great new connections made.
A big thank you to all of you who came and made this day with us.
We’re already looking forward to making this an annual event. So, keep an eye out for details on next year’s summit.
