The theme changes with every event, and we are always looking for suggestions on themes, so come along and connect with the creative sectors in the ACT!
Collaboration Labs
The Collaborative Innovation Lab (Collab Lab) is a program that brings people together to work on problems in ways that create economic and innovation opportunities for Canberra entrepreneurs and innovators across business, academia, government and social enterprise.
Facilitated sessions address a challenge, problem or an opportunity through collaboration that activates and leverages the resources, strengths and capabilities of a diverse group of players from across the ecosystem. This event can take different forms, sizes and durations including short focused sessions, half-day mini-hacks and full industry innovation days.
Hackathons & Ideathons
Hackathons and Ideathons bring together a community of hustlers, hipsters and hackers to solve local, national and global challenges innovatively either through tech, policy or process.
Join or create your own team and participate in a competitive environment over 24-48 hours and come up with a new solution that can help make an impact and potentially save lives. They are not just for coders, the more diverse your team is the more innovative your solution will be.
Hackathons and Ideathons are great activations for conferences and other major events where stakeholders and users are already present. Interested in learning more?
