RAI Amsterdam has announced during Global Exhibitions Day (6 June) that it will organise the Event Industry Hackathon 2018 on 31 October 2018. This will see a team of experts, scientists, students and professionals from various sectors tackle challenges related to sustainability, matchmaking, experience, logistics and other event issues.

Sharing solutions

“The Event Industry Hackathon is designed to encourage people to think out of the box and take this fine industry to a higher level,” says Maurits van der Sluis, COO of RAI Amsterdam. “The solutions will be shared and returned to the event sector, underlining the RAI’s role as a platform for knowledge, contacts and innovation.”

Submitting challenges

Event organisers, exhibitors and visitors who have identified missed opportunities or unresolved issues can submit their challenge via welcome@rai.nl until 1 August.

Hackers: everyone can join

Professionals who enjoy being challenged and applying their knowledge can register for the Hackathon until 1 September. RAI Amsterdam will select participants to establish a good mix of experts, scientists, students and other professionals from various sectors. All are welcome to join.
