List of hackathons in Australia in 2019

What if your idea couldn't fail? We know we need to innovate, but sometimes it seems risky.  The BOLT Asset Management Hackathon is a fun and safe environment to explore ideas and work together to create solutions to asset management challenges. Dedicate a day to work on asset management challenges in a collaborative environment and share ideas across industries and disciplines. Join your professional colleagues or bring a team for this intensive day of creativity and innovation.  What is the BOLT experience? You'll work in a team of three to five on the challenge you've chosen. We'll start at 9:00 am. This is the time for your team to narrow down the challenge you'll focus on. We'll work in short, intense 'bolts' and we'll keep the coffee coming.  You'll have expert guidance from Dr Monique Beedles, a globally recognised thought leader in asset management. You'll have access to curated tools and resources to help you through the process. By the end of the day your team will have a proposed solution to the challenge you've chosen. You'll have the chance to pitch your idea to your BOLT cohort and to industry guests. Take away a ready to use business case presentation for your chosen stakeholders. Who'll be there? A diverse group of participants from different professional disciplines with an interest in asset management. Anyone with great ideas to contribute to asset management challenges Click here to hear what some of last year's attendees had to say about their BOLT experience.

                           National Missing Persons Hackathon 2019                                                        ‘Cyber Trace a Missing Face’ What is the National Missing Persons Hackathon? The AustCyber Canberra Innovation Node has partnered with the Australian Federal Police, the National Missing Persons Coordination Centre and Trace Labs to conduct a missing person capture the flag (CTF) event (aka Hackathon) on Friday 11th October 2019. The event will see the gathering of ethical hackers and investigators using online investigative techniques within the bounds of the law to find new leads on real missing persons cases in Australia. Contestants will be using their cyber skills to gather open source intelligence (OSINT) on long-term and current missing persons using only information that is publicly available on the internet. The goal of this is to generate new leads on cases that can provide assistance to the relevant Australian policing jurisdictions in their investigations. The event has been modelled against 20 successful missing persons hackathons run by the not-for-profit organisation Trace Labs in partnership with various security conferences, universities, and community organisations within the USA, Canada, UK, and Australia. This is the first ‘large scale’ crowdsourced open source intelligence gathering of its kind in Australia for missing persons. If you see yourself as an ‘online investigator’, 'cyber hacker' or a 'cyber sleuth', then this is the event for YOU! How does it work? The CTF will run for a duration of 6 hours and physical attendance is required at the participating locations across Australia. The main event will be in the ACT with the event live streamed across several platforms for simultaneous participation at nominated locations and for public viewing. Twelve missing persons will be selected from existing National Missing Person Coordination Centre cases for participants to collect OSINT on, and to generate new leads. At the start of the event, contestants will be able to view the missing persons case details by logging into the CTF platform at ctf.tracelabs.org with their own credentials (Registration e-mail to be sent one day prior to the CTF for those who have pre-registered). For each OSINT Flag submitted on one of the missing persons that falls into any of the categories listed here, the flag will be validated by one of our Judges prior to awarding points. The top 3 individual/teams awarded the most points will receive a National Hackathon prize. There may be State/Territory awards as well. For first time contestants, please review Trace Labs CTF rules here. All leads generated on the missing person cases will be handed to the National Missing Persons Coordination Centre.
