HACKATHON
WHERE: ON THE SHOW FLOOR
WHAT: Disrup on is the theme of U lity
Week Live 2018 – and we're bringing
it to life with our very own hackathon,
star ng on the morning of May 22 and
running overnight to May 23. A crack
team of 20 hackers will be tackling one of
the key challenges facing u li es today:
how to iden fy and support customers
in vulnerable circumstances. They will
be working with special advisers from
across the industry to inves gate how
the imagina ve use of exis ng and new
datasets, plus the crea ve development
of interfaces, can encourage vulnerable
customers to iden fy themselves, and
ensure they only have to do so once.
They will also examine ways in which u li es can
engage and help "just about managing" customers
– catching them before they fall into spiralling debt.
Sponsored by Microso and Huntswood, the event
will be open to all show visitors who want to see
the hackathon in ac on. Our hackers could come up
with any number of solu ons that could revolu on-
ise how u li es engage with vulnerable customers
– but only one will win.
HIGHLIGHT:
On the second day, our hackers will reveal their
solu ons to the challenges facing u li es seeking
to iden fy and support customers in vulnerable
circumstances.
