CCC Retro - 2023-11-24

Location:

Downtown location seems preferable - better for non drivers, attracts the target audience (i.e. not students)

Design of space will enable mingling; rows of tables can be a barrier to this

Venues:

Hunter Hub for Entrepreneurial Thinking, Hunter Student Commons, U of C - venue of latest

Other venues:

Platform provides credibility

Stephen avenue great place - more desirable with space for presentation and play

It would be easier to get door prices

Calgary Public Library - good location but because it is a frequently used facility, the tech and administration can be unreliable

Bow Valley College - Andy has contact - auditorium; but this is another academic institution

Intent:

Who do we try to connect?

Talent & Talent seekers are the key target audiences

Sponsors:

Sponsor stepped down because of relocation to UofC

Demographic:

Diversity of age is better

How to find the right balance Marketing:

Need for a persistent online presence: LinkedIn presence - new CCC page - *Luis to lead this

CCC brand, legal entity, etc.?

Team provide some criteria for approach

Hospitality:

Great snacks - didn't miss pizza; validation of the Kirkland branded peanuts

Keep an eye on consumption

Hard to plan for how much when visibility to registration is restricted

Need more wayfinding/volunteers when space is on a large campus and Google maps is not reliable; great that there were pictures of the venue itself (from the outside) to refer to

When in a venue where there is paid parking, provide further parking instructions to judges, volunteers so as to avoid parking infractions

Hackathon:

Desire for more structure: would result in better user experience for judges: onboarding, rubric for more efficient evaluation

Feedback: Raul did great job onboarding

Marketing focus: was a networking event with a good will hunting feature, vs. now a hackathon event

Rebrand: Not "hackathon" (which implies coding) but more "design a thon" (Design Jam, Conceptathon), more about brainstorm, ideation,

Continuity:

Single theme for the year (but this could deter participation - i.e. I'm not into digital health)

Multiple streams: forest fire, health, important topics of the day: housing, food prices - keep it local

Structure: product component, business component, marketing component; brings more mix into the crowd; i.e. solution can be both technical - this will be a novel recruitment feature

Another hackathon topic is RECRUITMENT: how to find talent, how to raise profile, how to compete remote

HR speaker

Non profit - align with the hackathon

How to make judging faster and easier, especially when there is dead time

Use a genuine rubric

Eliminate the handwriting

Technology: mural, adalo

Presentation approach - vs. how much time for prsentation

Video submission -

Leverage phone as device

Judge pick the top 4, top 4 present and audience votes on winner
