Why hackathons are the best at raising the standards of every industry, sustainably

A hack-a-what now?

So there’s this relatively new concept called ‘hackathon’. While in the IT world every trusted professional has already been to at least five of these, most of the people in other industries haven’t even heard about it. And that’s a pity.

Because hackathons are a type of community-oriented events where professionals from different industries gather to solve an issue through tech solutions they get to come up with. Most of them have a theme, and you can either come with a team of your own or be paired with one.

The intensity differs. Some events are 24 hours of laboring with no pauses and way too much coffee to even mention it here, others are stretched over an entire weekend and only take place during day-time.

So what happens here in terms of the flow is this: you are a professional in the X industry. For the purposes of this article, this X will be law. You’re working in the legal industry. However, your industry isn’t yet digital-first. Its digital transformation has just begun, and there are many areas of improvement off the top of your mind.

Aaaand in comes the solution. You find some terrific IT professionals who are gifted and willing to show off their skills, maybe a product person who knows how to make a digital product market-fit and you’ve got yourself a winning chance.

You gather at the event, with or without an idea in mind and start brainstorming.
