Event Details

On Feb. 25th, join a group of talented designers, developers and product people to help turn open data into useful applications in one day!
 
Open Data Hackathon is a great opportunity to flex your 'Build It' muscle and create useful applications with a team of talented individuals.
 
How It Works:
 
9am - We do a quick brainstorming exercise and then pitch ideas to the room
10am - Teams are formed around the top ideas, you vote with your feet.
11am to 4pm - We build!
4pm - We have judges (TBD) come to give feedback on the products.  The most useful application wins! 
5pm - We wrap up the celebration with tasty beer courtesy of the good folks at iQmetrix.
 
Examples of useful products that have come out of Open Data Hack Days: 
  • Recollect - Not sure when Garbage Day is? Let Recollect remind you. Now available in Surrey!
  • Ourservices - An application that allows social service providers to enter information describing the services they offer to people in need that then is published on a map. 
Your tool is next!  Check out some of the data sources available to play with and come loaded with ideas.
 
We would like to thank iQmetrix and VEF Momentum for sponsoring this event and providing the space/beverages. 
 
If you have any questions before hand, please contact us.
 
Cheers,
Open Data Organizing Team: Winnie, Jesse, Lucas & VEF Momentum

Organizer

VEF Momentum

VEF Momentum was founded under the Vancouver Enterprise Forum with the purpose of connecting, inspiring and mentoring aspiring and emerging technology entrepreneurs in Vancouver.

Momentum Connect events play an important role in building a community around Vancouver’s technology entrepreneur community. These events primarily serve to connect young technology entrepreneurs with the people, resources and answers they need to succeed. Events are held quarterly at central venues and focus on offering a conducive networking environment and short, but inspiring speaker sessions. The success of these events can be attributed to the successful execution of the following principles:

  • The content must be relevant to first-time technology entrepreneurs.
  • Events should be as open and accessible as possible.
  • Connecting with people should not feel like a chore. Every event should be comfortable and conducive to networking and peer mentorship.
