How to get there

We will arrange buses that take you from Umeå, Boden, Luleå, and Piteå. Just let us know when you sign up if you need a ride.

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.
