Migrathon 2018
Event Information
Description
A HACKATHON INCLUDING MIGRANTS & AUSTRALIANS.
BRING YOUR MATES OR JUST COME & MEET SOMEONE NEW FOR A DAY OF INNOVATION AND STARTING SOMETHING GOOD.
Our inaugural Migrathon is a competition where you spend the day brainstorming an idea for a new venture, business, non-profit organisation, product, or service. Our hackathon is just that, but with one twist - every team must have at least one first-generation migrant. We want to build a more inclusive Australia, and we know that for many migrants, this is the first real taste of intensive teamwork in an Australian culture. Whether you already have a brilliant idea about technology, social good, or simply just a really neat idea; or, if you haven’t got an idea yet but want to enhance your sense of innovation and progress - come along!
Tell us about your ideas on the 2nd of February, 2018, and get mentored by successful startup entrepreneurs, finance wizes, tech geniuses & business experts. Showcase your idea to the audience and our guest judges. Thanks to our friends at NAB and GenPact, the three best ideas will take home a cash prize to put towards their ideas along with some amazing career building opportunities. With a star-studded line up of judges from CEOs of Start-ups through to Executives from some of Australia's largest organisations, it’s time to bring your A-Game!
