Teams
At our hackathons, software developers, AI experts, innovative and
creative minds, and process experts come together to explore how to
optimize business processes using message queueing, AI, and other
powerful technologies — all within a fun and inspiring environment.
We will admit 15 teams.
Team size: No limit!
Team Composition: Teams must have at least two members that cover
insights in AI, back-end, front-end and user experience expertise. If
you are lacking one of these we will help you find what you need.
Experts will be on site to offer ideas, guidance, and feedback to all
teams
Solo applicants: Just apply and we will assign you to a team.
Already got a team? Make sure every member registers individually and
specifies the team they belong to. This helps us understand who belongs
to each team and ensures we can communicate effectively with all
participants.
Code of Conduct
Respect, welcome, and collaboration are the cornerstones of this event. We celebrate diversity and the sharing of knowledge and experiences. Abusive behavior will not be tolerated. Let's uplift and inspire each other, focusing on learning together rather than competing.
