            Seattle GiveCamp 2019
            18 Oct - 06:00 PM
            Redmond, United States
            Seattle GiveCamp is a hackathon for good where tech volunteers create software for nonprofit organizations in the Seattle area. The software solutions will likely include web sites, desktop apps, databases, or other pieces of software that need to be coded, designed, updated, or configured. We anticipate creating solutions for about 10-15 needy nonprofits this year.  We will have a need for programmers, web developers, graphic designers, database admins, and project managers. You do not have to have to be an expert to be a tech volunteer. Of course, if you are an expert in one or more disciplines, that's fantastic. All you really need is some technical experience/education and a desire to help. Seattle GiveCamp is asking technical volunteers to pay a $20 fee to secure a place at this year's GiveCamp. In return, we will provide a place to code/design/create, lots of free food & drink, networking opportunities, a snazzy t-shirt, and a surprise gift or two. (Non-tech support volunteers will not have to pay the fee.) In case you are wondering, the $20 fee will be distributed to the nonprofits that we will be helping at the event since our sponsors will be covering the cost of the event itself. Schedule Friday, Oct 18, 6pm-11pm (we will be serving dinner) Saturday, Oct 19, 8am-11pm (we will serving breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks) Sunday, Oct 20, 8am-6pm (we will be serving breakast, lunch, and snacks) Note: Unlike some past years, we will be ending at 11pm on Friday and Saturday. There is no sleep over option.

This event is organized by Edge by Ascential™. The E^HACKATHON Seattle is not initiated or sponsored by, or associated with, Amazon.com, Inc. "You must be this tall to ride..." If you: Work for a consumer brand Lead (or support) your Amazon or overall ecommerce business Desire actionable and interactive edutainment vs. "death by lecture" conferences too common in the industry Want to learn and network without the stress of agency sharks and sales pitches Believe you're part of a global movement that is greater than any one of us alone Then you belong with us. Designed for practitioners by practitioners   The E^HACKATHON Seattle is an Amazon-centric, deep-dive masterclass summit for BRANDS ONLY where industry leaders work closely with insiders and experts on the latest best practices and strategies needed to succeed on the fastest growing ecommerce platform in the world.

Meet the thought leaders who volunteered as tribute **SPEAKERS & TEACHERS COMING SOON!** SAMPLE Agenda from E^HACKATHON NYC (April 16): **OFFICIAL AGENDA COMING SOON!** SAMPLE Hackshops from E^HACKATHON NYC (April 16): **OFFICIAL HACKSHOPS COMING SOON!** Each attendee will have the opportunity to submit their preferences for 4 preferred hackshops to attend during the event.  We will do our best to schedule each attendee for as many of their preferred hackshops as possible based on session capacity and non-compete restrictions.  DEMAND GENERATION TOPICS 1. How Large Companies Can Optimize Content at the Speed of Ecommerce Recent research indicates that the brands who are most successful at growing revenue in ecommerce regularly optimize their product content. However, it also revealed that the biggest barrier for developing great content was the number of approvals required internally. Learn the strategies and practical tips to overcome these hurdles with your key stakeholders to create, review, approve, and publish content at scale and at the speed of ecommerce. 2. Latest Ad Features & Tools to Accelerate Your Brands Amazon has been launching new features in advertising at an increasingly rapid pace that will only continue to speed up.  Learn 1) the newest features and functionality launched within the last few months, 2) the advances in tool technology and how brands and agencies are leveraging them to achieve a better competitive advantage and 3) the optimal support models needed internally to maximize your advertising strategy and activation.   3. Drive It & They Will Come: Advanced Demand Generation Strategies The “build it and they will come” strategy doesn’t apply to the digital shelf.  Demand generation through targeted marketing activities and promotions is critical to driving traffic, converting it into sales and accelerating your own Amazon flywheel performance.  If you have the basics down and want to take it to the next level, it’s time to master some of the more advanced demand generation strategies. STRATEGY TOPICS 4. Navigating 1P, 3P and Hybrid Amazon Solutions in a New World of Vendor Singularity Explore the benefits and downsides to partnering with Amazon and how to decide whether a 1P, 3P, or Hybrid approach is best for your brand.  We will explore recent Amazon policy changes, facts and theories around ‘Vendor Singularity’ and how emerging policies may impact your brand in terms of what models may be available to you.  We’ll conclude the conversation around the power that brands have individually and collectively and the tactics and methods available to navigate a successful ‘partnership’ with Amazon in an increasingly hostile environment. 5. Brand Wars: How to Combat Amazon Private Label With the launch of 130+ private label brands and 400+ exclusive private brands to-date, Amazon is rapidly and aggressively expanding its private brand portfolio strategy and promotion in order to differentiate its offerings, increase assortment control and improve profit margins.  Learn key strategies and tactics to counter their acceleration and protect your consumer acquisition and retention. 6. Supply Chain: The Missing Link to Growth Supply chain is a commonly neglected “topic” in ecommerce and often one of the areas least resourced or prioritized internally until it becomes a risk or barrier to growth and the bottom line. However, your supply chain strategy can be a (if not the) primary driver of your Amazon business if harnessed and optimized effectively. Learn some of the strategies and tactics top brands are leveraging to turn their ecommerce supply chain into a major growth engine. 7. Business Growth 2.0: What to Do After the Slowdown? While Amazon has been a source of strong topline growth for years, many 1P brand manufacturers have experienced increasing business deceleration, both creating internal concerns around future growth on the platform and posing risk to the continued resource allocation and investment.  Learn some of the critical strategies and tactics you can leverage to drive new growth and counter the slowdown. JOINT VALUE CREATION TOPICS 8. Brand Protection: Best-In-Class Strategies to Control Your Sales Online to Maximize Profit Despite its growth and potential, the Amazon marketplace can expose all the leaks in a brand’s value chain – price   matching, unauthorized 3P sellers, product diversion and grey market sales – resulting in major channel conflicts, unprofitability for both brand and retail and overall brand erosion.  Learn the key strategies, foundational policies and enforcement techniques recommended to remove unauthorized sellers, stop channel conflict and end brand erosion. 9. Something Old, Something New: Best-In-Class New Product Launches & SKU Transitions Brands must continuously bring new innovations and renovations to market; however, launching new products and transitioning SKUs successfully on Amazon is quite complex. How brands manage their SKUs can be the difference between shelf leadership or shelf extinction.   Learn the key programs and strategies for successfully launching and transitioning your products to maintain and accelerate your business. The brands behind your brands **OFFICIAL PARTNERS COMING SOON!** The cold, hard truth from E^HACKATHON NYC attendees   "This is a highly collaborative and inspiring atmosphere!  If you work on Amazon, this event is a MUST" "Great energy, great presenters, awesome masterclasses!" "Great actionable content. Not a sales pitch. No snoozefest panel discussions." "Would definitely recommend to colleagues and peers as the hackathon provides great opportunity for the e-commerce community to come together at all levels to share knowledge" "I wish more colleagues could have attended. Thanks for a great event!" "Even for our team where we attend often, I was very pleased with a lot of new insights that was presented. It just goes to show you how Amazon is continual evolving and you cannot rely on the same past behavior." What venue could possibly contain our collective potential? The Bell Harbor International Conference Center in Seattle, Washington has promised to do its best :) Ready to make history?  Join us today! Still need more time to decide? Take all the time you need, but we are humbled to share that every prior E^HACKATHON to date has sold out. So don't miss your chance to get seats for you and your team!
