NewCo Boston 2017

“Hackathon” has become one of the trendiest terms in business today. While a Hackathon typically connotes a 24x7 event that challenges developers to create the next cool app, the process is not just for start-ups.
In this interactive presentation, Andy Youniss, CEO of Rocket Software will discuss how “Rocket Build” events have helped Rocket instill a more innovation-driven culture.  Andy will define what a hackathon is, how they work and best practices and tips for utilizing them in your own environment.  Attendees will leave with an understanding of how even big organizations can leverage the “hacking” process to deliver breakthrough innovation at start-up speed.
