What is a Hackathon?
A Hackathon is only the most exclusive event, where programmers and people passionate about software development put their minds together. Such an event takes place over 1-3 days during which the talented participants must come up with ideas, and create various applications or solutions for the problem given.
What is AdTech?
The name itself is an umbrella term that comes from advertising technology. This industry revolves around all the software and tools advertisers, agencies, publishers, and other industry players use to analyze, plan, manage, and deliver their advertising and monetization strategies.
Who can participate in HackAdTech Hackathon?
Everybody that is good at programming and can develop applications for the AdTech industry can participate. And here we include: designers, content specialists, programmers, analysts, or even aspiring specialists such as students or people that are passionate about this industry.
Yet, although you don’t have to be a programmer to participate, you must make sure to include one in your team in order to qualify.
What is the deadline for the registration?
The deadline for registration is 20 November 2022. The competition starts on 26 November 2022.
How will the Hackathon teams be made?
A team consists of 1-5 individuals, out of which at least one must be a developer. You can register in the Hackathon with your ready-made team by pitching an idea. Or sign up to join a team, based on your skills.
Can I join the competition with my ready-made team?
Yes, you can join the HackAdTech competition with your existing team by pitching an idea. Just keep in mind that you have to create the prototype during the two-day competition, and not earlier. Otherwise, you could be disqualified.
What if I don’t have a team?
You can still apply. In fact, during the registration process, you can choose to enter the competition with your team (as the team leader), or ask to join a team based on the particular set of skills you possess.
Do all the team members have to be physically present at the competition?
The teams participating in the competition should be physically present at the venue (Limassol Parklane Hotel, Cyprus) at all times during the competition schedule, but some of their members can join remotely by prior agreement with the organizers.
