The development community is no stranger to the hackathon, this short time sensitive result
based event delivers workable software and potential new businesses. I know I can hear it now,
"I am not planning for coders and graphic interface designers, Kyle." What if you could bring that
excitement and structure to your next corporate meeting or conference?

This session discusses
taking the hackathon
model and implementing it
in your next event. I discuss incentivizing time
controlled sessions that not only create new ideas
but ultimately deliver fully functioning plans tomembers.mpiwi.org/2015-october
