The Hackathon Timeline

Kickoff Meeting
Production
Outreach
Hackathon Event
Debrief

We start your hackathon journey with a kickoff meeting. During this session, we gather stakeholders to define and agree on key aspects of the event.

This includes choosing a format, deciding on the profile of participants, and other aspects of the hackathon. You'll come away with a clear plan for success.

Once we've defined the key objectives of the event, the next step is production. During this phase, we recruit a dedicated team for your event.

Each member of your hackathon team will be briefed using a detailed cue-sheet going over the various deliverables required at the end of the event.

After your hackathon team has been mobilized, the next step is to recruit  targeted profiles and number of participants to join the hackathon.

Over the years, we've worked with over 10 million developers & innovators and ensure the highest quality talent will participate in the event.

Your event is live and you get to experience innovation in action. We manage everything, making sure your final objectives are met.

By the end of the hackathon, awards are handed out to winners and clear candidates rise to the surface.

Congratulations, you've successfully organized a hackathon event!

Afterwards, we collect and synthesize all the key metrics from the hackathon and debrief the whole operation to you. You'll come away with clear insights and actions items.

We worked with Hackathon.com to launch the new Bixby, by hosting a Developer Showcase. The Developer Showcase unveiled new ways for developers to bring a more conversational, personal and useful intelligent assistant experiences to life.
