List of hackathons in Waterbury, United States in 2018

What is a "Cap-a-thon"?    It is the Connecticut Captive Insurance Association's ("CCIA") unique approach to innovation.  It is an intentional, design sprint event in which business leaders, contributors and other subject matter experts come together to learn and intensively collaborate on a project or innovation. The structure is loosely based on "hackathon" concepts and will provide a condensed time for collaborative work.  The center piece of this event is cyber security. The day will focus on innovations for captive insurance entities -- as platforms for risk management and risk aggregation to impact the management of current and emerging risks faced by captive owners.   Innovative solutions offer a set of products and processes, cobbled together to create impact and enhanced value.  The "hackathon" concepts accelerate the development process by rapidly advancing the concepts through series of development stages with the output being actionable -- refined throughout the process. The output of the Cap-a-thon is a solution that successfully addresses or manages a specific risk issue, market need, and potentially a disruptive approach. Join us for a day of engaged learning and collaboration, with a focus on one of the most significant risk exposues for every organization which encompasses financial, reputational, physical and operational aspects -- cyber risk! Special Annoucements: Timeline of the day's exciting schedule is available.           See the CCIA website:  conncaptives.org   An exciting event on the evening of October 16, 2018 is planned at the Hartford Club, 46 Prospect Street, Hartford, CT.  This event focusing on risk and insurance innovation in Connecticut will begin at 5.00 PM, including networking and a panel disucssion .

An innovator? It is Hartford's turn on the world stage. And you're invited to be a part of it. Everyone can join, whether you code or not! If you want to help, that’s key. Bring your ideas, motivation, and creative energy! Together, we can solve one of Hartford’s most pressing challenges: Children who witness gun violence experience dangerous levels of traumatic stress, yet more than 76% who would benefit from treatment are never referred for diagnosis. By stepping up to address this challenge, Hartford has been selected as a Champion City to participate in the Bloomberg Mayor's Challenge and we need you to get involved! To solve this problem, the City proposed to use data from its gunshot detection system to help identify young witnesses to gun violence and dynamically route resources to address the resulting trauma and reduce traumatic stress.  To support the Hartford Mayor’s Challenge team, Upward is hosting a Hackathon that enables Hartford's best thinkers to come together in an effort to build a model to identify, refer, and treat young bystanders to gun violence and allow them to lead healthy and productive lives.  This is where you come in! We are calling on you to engineer solutions through human-centered, intelligent technologies and interventions. Be part of a city that puts people at the heart of innovation and use your knowledge to make a difference today. The first 30 people to register will receive a FREE Day Pass to work at Upward in the lead up to the event coming together with like-minded people to be inspired! Don't wait for the Hackathon!

Goal of the hackathon Help InsurTech startups and entrepreneurs generate and refine a business plan and identify steps to take their ideas to the next level. Why a hackathon? Hackathons are known for their ability to stimulate creative, free-flowing ideas. By working with others, people are able to connect and create in ways they would not do by themselves. Hackathons are known as marathon coding competitions aimed at solving particular issues. This hackathon will not involve coding. Regardless, we encourage coders and non-coders to attend. Who can attend? The event is open to anyone with interest in InsurTech. If you are in idea stage or revenue generating, the event is open to you. If you welcome even if do not have an InsurTech idea. People looking to participate in helping the InsurTech Hartford start-up community are welcome. To learn more about InsurTech, visit the InsurTech Hartford website.
