Intelligent Shopping: predict customers grocery basket datathon
29 Jun - 09:00 AM
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Shopping for your groceries online is not the most delightful experience. It is often time consuming and includes boring, repetitive tasks, ie searching for products and adding them to your basket - one by one. Nevertheless, it is predicted that in 10 years, a third of all food will be ordered online. At IceMobile, we build recommendation systems for retailers and on intelligent shopping solutions. IceMobile envisions a future in which your supermarket apps knows you. It knows what you want to buy and when you need it. With a click of a button you order all items you want this week. Using artificial intelligence, you only need a number of clicks to fill your basket with dozens of products.In this datathon / hackathon you will get the opportunity to show your Machine Learning skills on a real retailer dataset containing transactional data. Your task will be to predict which products will be in each customer's next basket (ie what they will buy in their next visit). There will be two prizes that you can win. First prize is for the best performing model, being the model with the highest F1 score on our IceMobile leaderboard. The other prize is the best idea and presentation.
Albert Heijn Data director Caroline Fluit, Head of data from IceMobile Arnoud Andeweg and Rick Swinkels- Head of data BrandLoyalty will be sitting at the judges table!
BYOL: Participants are required to bring their own laptop.

eiOS HACKATHON: Emotional Intelligence Operating System Upgrade (eiOS)
19 Jun - 06:00 PM
Amsterdam, Netherlands
1 journey. 8 weeks. 8 modules. 8 human behavior experts. 1 quest: become a #WellbeingChampion. 1 mission: #MakeWellbeingGoViral.
The happier that you are as an individual, the more that we start to thrive as a collective and the stronger that the psychological immunity of our human race becomes.
WHAT IS THE eiOS?
The eiOS is a framework. Together with 8 experts in the field of human behavior - we call them, Wellbeing Technicians, we have put together a wholistic program which takes you on an 8-step journey, over the period of 8 weeks. On this journey we will take you on some wild adventures through the realms of your Mind, Heart & Spirit.
Your quest on this journey is to turn into a wellbeing technician yourself - into a Wellbeing Champion. To come out at the other end not only feeling better - but also equipped to sustain and spread the wellbeing bug around. We are making wellbeing go viral!
The program is grounded in a robust body of science on Emotional Intelligence, and that is going to be our route - the GPS coordinates for our journey.
WHAT THE eiOS IS NOT?
The eiOS is not a workshop, not a training, not a class - it’s an experience! We don't teach or inspire you. We're there to ENABLE you.

2) our mentors are available throughout the program to support with anything: coaching, debriefing, questions. In some cases, one-on-one with the coaches will be offered to ensure you're up to speed.
3) you can join the module at an upcoming program in the future
4) Depending on which module you will miss, we might either have streaming in place which means that you can take the module online. Having said that, should more people have conficts with one of the modules, we’ll look to change the date.
How can I contact the organizer with any questions?

Just as important is the regulatory framework fostering innovation on the one hand and providing customer protection on the other. And not less important, consumers need to adopt new innovations. Which problem does an innovation solve and is it powerful enough to make consumers switch their current providers? While challengers may offer superior solutions for some customers, attracting a broad customer base remains a challenge. As incumbents still have the benefit of trust and scale, it is hard for new entrants to gain enough traction.
