We will tackle relevant and imminent challenges in the delivery, access and infrastructure of global surgery.

Calling all developers and future fintech entrepreneurs to join us on July 27th - 29th, 2018 at District Hall in Boston. The Challenge is offering all start-ups, students, tech enthusiasts and creative minds in the fintech industry the opportunity to develop innovative software solutions to help our customers reach their potential. The winning team will receive $10,000 and there are other prizes to reward creative ideas! In addition, there will be networking and learning sessions with our skilled mentors who will help you build, design and pitch your idea to our panel of experts; who will share their wisdom on how to take your prototype to the next level. Come with an idea and form a team or join a team on-site, and spend the weekend building innovative solutions based around four core challenge tracks: Theme: 360° Engagement Challenge: How can we consolidate all the information that we have about our customers in one place, and leverage that data to predict their next move? Challenge: Data streams are today available from both inside the bank (CRM events, transaction history and more) and outside (global news, segment/industry data, credit scoring). How can we use these different data streams to help our customers succeed? Theme: Liquidity Crystal Ball Challenge:  What kind of tools can we develop to help our customers understand and address their liquidity and cash-flow challenges? Challenge:  How can we better leverage predictive analytics using market data such as cash-flow and liquidity to help us reach and on-board prospective customers? Theme: AI and Digital Engagement Challenge:  How can we best leverage AI platforms’ service customers and increase our response rate and support capabilities to customers?

Internet navigation refers to the process of navigating a network of information resources in the World Wide Web which if organized as hypermedia or hyperlinks. Central to internet navigation is the development of a navigation interface that maximizes usability and ease of finding information in a plethora of hypermedia and hyperlinks. A website navigation is analogous to a road map, which enables webpage visitors to explore and discover different areas and information contained within the website. Sometimes navigation design makes it cumbersome to find specific information depending on the device from which search occurs. With the advent of mobile devices in the last decade, information discovery needs to be addressed and looked at closely to ensure that visitors can still discover information with ease. The navigation design in most modern vehicles are circular with options to find addresses, play music, make phone calls, etc. Circular navigation through a nob which drivers can circle through while not losing attention on the road while driving is central to ensure information can be retrieved in a fast and easy process. Imagine a web navigation interface similar to the circular navigation in modern vehicles used for information discovery and retrieval. In the case of an ecommerce website, navigation is often hierarchical with pages and pages of products and a search bar, which is used to enter phrases to search for. Often visitors have their own categorization in mind to look for in a plethora of products and most websites often categorize and sub-categorize through hyperlinks, which are used in combination with the search bar. Instead of a hierarchical navigation that forces visitors to follow a map-route on websites, a circular navigation can be immensely useful and more personalized for the visitor to use a nob for cycling through products and turning on/off product features to ensure information can be retrieved faster and easier and more importantly resembling interfaces which they have used before as in the circular navigation in their vehicles. Berkshire Hathaway Shoe Holdings presents this Circular Navigation Hackathon in collaboration with CIC Boston. Join us on the 27-28 of July to participate in the hackathon with fellow designers, developers and product owners to create circular navigation interfaces for the vast cyberspace to envision how navigation will look in the present and future! Navigation of web sites are radically being re-done and re-aligned with visitors input, be a part of history in making this happen and a peek into the future of navigation!
