The AI Summit London Conference and Expo

Hackathon

What is the AI Hackathon?

Roll up your sleeves and put AI to work (or just watch the competition unfold!) as up-and-coming data scientists, problem-solvers, and developers must showcase quick thinking and demonstrate the growing scope of AI solutions.

Multiple teams will compete – with the winners receiving exclusive opportunities for career development with global organisations (and of course a ton of swag to take home too!)

Who is the AI Hackathon for?

  • Any UK university student – undergraduate, master, or PhD – interested in or looking to learn more about AI and data science.

  • Available 11-12 June.
