Bizz Code 2018
What is it all about?
Inviting all business oriented minds and code geeks to gather up for a 45-hour weekend challenge - BIZZ CODE!!
Bridging the gap between business and IT, teams of 4 to 5 challengers will be formed to brainstorm and come up with innovative concepts within 4 specific areas that will be revealed on the day. The ultimate aim is to produce a minimum viable product within the 45-hour challenge running over the weekend of the 9th November 2018.
After registration on Friday early evening, a number of workshops will ignite those present to enable them to battle through the challenge, raising awareness about idea generation, rapidly building effective plans and the technology arenas that can be used throughout the challenge.
This is a chance that will empower you to innovate and unleash your ideas!
