BounceBack YYC

What? The BounceBackYYC Hack is an intense multi-day virtual hackathon that will bring together the brightest minds and future leaders of our city to build impactful solutions that will accelerate the restart, recovery, and return of the Calgary experience economy. Any business that generates more than 50% of its profits from live in-person experiences or events is part of the experience economy. Why? The COVID19 pandemic has impacted the livelihood of many businesses globally. Beyond the forced closure, small organizations in the Experience Economy face larger challenges in bouncing back, given the importance of person-to-person and proximal interactions in how they deliver their services and create value to customers. With each passing minute, the complexity of the post-COVID world is jeopardizing their survival - we can already see organizations in our City starting to close down. Who? Current students and recent graduates of any Calgary-based post-secondary institutions. All students from all disciplines are welcome. You do not need to know tech to join in!
