List of hackathons in United Kingdom in 2016

IAMCP UK members! You're invited to an exclusive dinner event, where the topic will be: "The Partner Ecosystem — How do we stay ahead of the game in a world of channel disruption?" The world’s power balance is shifting—West to East; central controls to decentralization; asset accumulation to the sharing economy and the preference for “utility” consumption commonplace for almost every product or service. Come and hear how new world power brokers are shaping the future of business success and how partnerships, ecosystems, and collaboration are fuelling some surprising and profound successes across industries and centres globally.

The tools and resources built during the event will be uploaded to GitHub and shared with the community and will form the basis for tutorials and teaching materials.

For those that have ventured farther into blockchain than most, this full day workshop will take a look beyond the theory of many concepts related to block chain, and give in-depth instruction on how to apply concepts to create a functioning decentralized application.
