Event technology will be take centre stage at the hackathon, which is being organised by Event Tech Lab.
Software developers and interface designers will work collaboratively with event professionals to produce innovative ideas for event technology software. Event professionals will be encouraged to share ideas, act as mentors and inspire the tech enthusiasts.
