#hackoffeethon
Coffee meet tech. Tech meet coffee.

Griffiths Bros Coffee Roasters want to bring the coffee and tech worlds closer together. We believe that better application of; and a greater willingness to embrace technology across the coffee industry can bring about positive sustainable change, in both the short and long term.

Coffee has a unique relationship with the tech world (it’s powered many an all nighter!) and brings a huge 'playground' of challenges that could benefit from some innovative disruptive thinking from minds outside of the industry. It’s time for some fresh eyes.

#hackoffeethon will be a coffee focused ideation, problem solving sprint - with participants forming teams to devise solutions, develop concepts and plans, and pitch their concepts to a panel of judges.

What is #hackoffeethon?

Put simply it's a hackathon focussed on coffee. The event will bring together people of varied skill sets for fast-paced development of innovative solutions to challenges facing the coffee industry. The event will kick-off at 3pm on Friday the 13th (no, not the spooky kind) of October, with teams pitching their ideas back to our panel of judges from 6pm on Saturday the 14th October.

Tickets are $10 to register as a single particpant or $40 for a team of 4 to 6 people. The venue for #hackoffeethon is the Eastern Innovation Business Centre. Mentors are also encouraged to register (free ticket).
