European IT Hackathon by Procter & Gamble

Freelancers, students, IT professionals, we would like invite you to the first edition of the European Procter & Gamble IT Hackathon, in 10 European cities at the same time!

We are offering you the chance to win various prizes and pitch your idea in front of P&G Europe IT Leaders.

Our mission in the Newcastle Hackathon is to use voice recognition platforms such as Amazon Alexa (provided by us), to change the way consumers interact with our brands. To achieve this, we’ll use a blend of languages and APIs to create new “skills” or features for devices like Alexa. Don't worry if you are not too familiar with programming, there is a lot more to do from User Experience, interfaces and testing, to create an Alexa skill.

Our Research and Development, Technical and Business experts speakers will share their vision on how voice recognition technology has the potential to re-shape the way we do even the simplest tasks. However, we want you to come up with ideas and innovative ways to make this shift happen.

You can expect: places to hack individually and in groups, opportunities to network with P&G IT experts and recruitment leaders, chill-out zones, fun activities, short competitions with prizes, coffees, food, drinks and one or two surprises.

Come join us now, registrations are closing soon at:
