Unusual hackathon May 20-21: S7 Airlines

For many years I have been leading hakatons. And Voximplant helps to organize them: sends me, gives prizes, tells on Habré. In two weeks , the hackathon S7 will take place , which is very unusual. I say this as a person who has already spent several dozen of them.

The most important thing about the hackathon:

• It is conducted by the airline to strengthen its brand as a place to work well. On the site there will be developers of the company, from which you can not only find out how and what they do, but also ask how the planes actually fall, what is now overbooking and how to hack the loyalty program correctly. They simply have nowhere to go;
• This is one of the few hackathons where not everyone is invited. To hang out with us for two days on the court, you need to complete a small task , after which colleagues from S7 will select the top 50 teams. Non-residents they will provide a transfer to Moscow;
• Hackathon is held in Gorky Park in the co-working workstation. Nature, sun, barbecues, that's all;
• This will be the first hackathon in which I will test the new project evaluation system, spied on Finnish Junction. She promises to speed up and simplify everything at times. Of course, if I do not pofile anything in the process.

If you spend a bit of time in May, ship your concepts for the hackathon, and colleagues from S7 invite you to the site (I remind you that 50 teams are more than 200 developers, the chances are very high), then you will have the opportunity to compete for these prizes:
')

• Prize fund - 600 000 rubles
• Travel grant for a trip to Europe for the whole team
• Excursion to the development center of S7 Airlines
• Upgrading an economy class ticket to a business class
• Certificate with miles
• Jobs from the "Workstation"
• $ 1000 loan on the platform Voximplant
• Valuable gifts from S7 Airlines and partners for all participants of the hackathon

There is a hypothesis that with the preliminary selection of participants, the hackathon will turn out much better than if you invite everyone. After the hackathon, I’ll tell you what happened, but for now I’m ready to answer questions in the comments. And yes, I know why csv does not open :)
