This event takes place online! However we will strive to make it as interactive as possible by using the dedicated Microsoft Teams webmeeting!

Welcome to the IATA Cargo 2021 Hackathon, a round-the-clock experience which comprises:

One week ideation phase to prepare your project - starting Monday 6th September
A 28 hour coding experience to work on your projects and pitch ideas to a team of industry experts and mentors

During the Hackathon you will be asked to build solutions to enhance cargo products using the ONE Record Data Sharing standard by multimodal means. We will ask you to address at least one of the related challenges by using at least one of the APIs available at the event. In parallel, you will be able to attend some of the workshops that will take place remotely and gain access to mentors that will support you through the Hackathon experience.
