Hackathon: Hack Tracks
Understanding where AI adds the most value
Two days to build AI intuition — not shipping features. Test real hypotheses with working demos on real or realistic data, then show the company what we learned.

Schedule
You can submit multiple ideas during the pre-hackathon phase, but you must select your final hack by April 8, 2026.
Idea Submission & Selection
Submit your ideas (you can submit multiple). Pick your final hack by April 8, 2026.
10:00 AM CDT - Kick Off
Opening ceremony and hacking begins. Build a working demo against real or realistic data — not slides alone.
2:00 PM CDT - Demo Time
Present your demo to the entire company — hypothesis, what ran against data, and what we learned.
Winners Announced
Judges deliberate and winners are announced.
Rules
Hypotheses & working demos
Each project should answer a concrete question about where AI adds value. Ship a working demo against real or realistic test data — not slides or proposals alone.
Web & platform audience
Focus on Back Office, Management, and Executive personas on web and platform. Use Hack Tracks to see which personas each suggested idea supports.
AI at the core
LLMs, statistical ML, anomaly detection, embeddings, constraint scoring — AI should be central to testing your hypothesis, not a thin wrapper.
Solo, pair, or find a match
Work alone, register with a teammate’s email, or mark yourself as looking for a teammate on the board. Max team size is 2.
Demo-ready by Day Two
Your hack should be demo-able by 2:00 PM on Day Two — something running that shows results and what you learned.
New tools require approval
Need new software or services? Get Executive Team approval before the hackathon.
Judging
Everyone demos on Day Two. Judges look at how clearly you tested your hypothesis, the quality of the demo against data, and what we learned about integrating AI — not whether you shipped a production feature. Winners are announced the following week.
Participants
Submit as many ideas as you like, but you must pick your final hack by April 8, 2026. The hackathon runs April 9-10, 2026.
