Qantas Codeshare 2016: The Qantas Hackathon

Register your interest in the Qantas Codeshare Hackathon for 2016

Following on from last year’s inaugural Qantas Codeshare Hackathon, Qantas will hold the 2nd annual Qantas Codeshare Hackathon at the Qantas Centre of Service Excellence for aspiring and established developers to create apps, products and solutions that improve the lives of all travellers.

Over a weekend at the beginning of August at the Qantas Centre of Service Excellence, hackathon participants will receive access to publicly available fare information, a feed of available hotels for a particular destination on hooroo.com and more, to come up with awesome solutions to travelling problems.

And you might just win travel vouchers, and a chance to work with Qantas to bring your ideas to life.

The Qantas Centre of Service Excellence (COSE) is a unique space for the weekend's coding. Secretly located in Alexandria, the COSE is used for Qantas team training and features a range of travel experiences from the Qantas Club to the First Class cabin and everything in-between.

• Doors open (briefing): Friday, 630pm 
• Briefings and team forming: Friday, 7pm
• Doors open: Saturday, 9am
• Coding starts: Saturday, 930am
