The SVST Hackathon #2 Verbania is the second event organized by the La Storia nel Futuro Association after the one in Sestri Levante.
In this edition, I was involved as the event manager, with the task of managing the various stakeholders involved (municipality of Verbania, Il Maggiore theater, sponsoring companies, partner companies, partner universities), the fundraising, and the operational organization of the event, acting as moderator during the two days.
As the leader of the team that organized the event, I had to plan through a roadmap and shared documents on Google Drive, all the necessary tasks that needed to be done so that by the weekend of the hackathon everything would be ready for managing the operational work of the hackathon.
The participants, consisting of a mix of young people and experts from the technology and startup sectors, set out to solve problems related to eco-sustainability. The involvement of experts from large companies, such as IBM and Mind The Bridge, and from the startup world, created a winning mix of skills present at the event, which helped contribute to the success found.
