AIEnviro Hackathon – Use your skills to help the planet

Tēnā tātou katoa,

In the lead up to our AI Summit taking place in Auckland on 12 September we are running a hackathon series across New Zealand.  The top teams will be pitching at the Summit to be the overall winners. 

These hackathons are seeking to bring to life practical examples of some key recommendations from our AI for Environment Report published in May. And it’s not just for technologists, – we are looking for people with a passion to save the planet (all of it – including your backyard).  See the events listed below and get involved. 

The Summit is all about AI in Action, it is a very full agenda packed with interesting interactive sessions. There will be key advice for bringing AI to life in your business, a special stream for startups, invaluable stories to inspire and learn from, and a future focused look at what’s coming next. We’ll also be talking about what ethical AI means for New Zealand and all who live here; and looking for your updated input to NZ’s AI Strategy. 

Registration is now open with discounts available for all members. Thanks to Dataminr, Google Cloud, NZ Stats, Servian, Spark & Qrious for being our key sponsors this year, along with Callaghan Innovation, Bridgewest Ventures & Lynker Analytics.  There are still some limited sponsorship opportunities to promote your orgaisations to a national audience.

We look forward to welcoming you all.
