Tech Thursday, in partnership with Neo, Helcim, ZayZoon, Microsoft, Motiv, and Robin, is thrilled to present the 'Solving the Canadian Productivity Hackathon'. This event is running concurrently in Winnipeg and Calgary. This link is specifically for those who're signing up for Calgary's event. Your ticket includes lunch, snacks, and beverages throughout the day. Overview The goal of this event is to bring back the spirit of early-2010s hackathons. By leveraging Vibe Coding, we believe that in 8-hours, we can create something incredible. This full-day, cross-city hackathon will bring together developers, product managers, and innovators to tackle one of the biggest challenges facing the country: Canada’s productivity crisis. Participants will form cross-functional teams of junior and senior professionals, collaborating to design and prototype the next generation of business productivity solutions that can fuel Canada’s innovation economy. The best part? You don't have to be a developer to create an incredible project using vibe coding. Sign up as an individual, or mention the team members you'd prefer in the sign up process. Format: 8 hour hackathonPrize Money: TBA
