Mini-Hackathon: Innovation Unleashed

Thursday, May 18, 2017

3:00 – 6:00 pm

SPIRE Conference Center
750 First St NE
Washington, DC 20002

Registration is open for PCMA Capital Chapter’s May Education Event!

Jamie Murdock, Vice President of Sales at Experient, A Maritz Global Events Company, will present, “Mini Hackathon: Innovation Unleashed.”

Hacking is about igniting cross-disciplinary, collaborative conversations to breakthrough to new ways to tackle problems. While hackathons typically span a day or more, we’re running a mini-version where you cannot only flesh out new ideas with peers, but experience this interactive model first-hand to determine if it might be a fit for your organization.

The association-focused challenges we’ll be hacking will be based on your ideas and suggestions collected when you register for this event. If you have a challenge in need of a hack, be sure to join us for this great session!

Participants in this session will learn to:

• Explain why conversations with different-minded people often reveal breakthrough ideas
• Describe how technology can be tapped to boost collaboration and idea output
• Identify three essentials for designing a successful hackathon experience

This event is approved for 1.5 hours of CMP Continuing Education Credits!
