Hack the high street with Birdback and American Express

*For more information and to sign up visit: birdback.com/hack/

Hi everyone,

Birdback and American Express are inviting you for an awesome weekend of hackathon-ing. Theme? High street retail!

We're looking for awesome ideas to be shaped and built during this event by our top geeks (You). For example, how could technology help enhance the high street? How could software and great design take customer experience to the next level?

We're not just talking e-commerce (that would be too easy!), we're talking bricks and mortars. Don't believe the hype, 90% of shopping is still happening offline, this means huge potential for inspired thinking. Join us for a fun weekend, push boundaries and show us what you're made of! Space is limited so secure yours NOW.

THE DRILL:

3 innovation representatives will be there to present you with some challenges: Marks and Spencer, B&Q and Harris + Hoole coffee chain.

You can participate in a challenge presented by one of our retail experts. We're calling them The Challengers!

Or compete in the open-hack category and build your own solution related to high street retail

Start and finish your hack within 24hrs

You have 3 minutes to present your hack

Judging criteria: innovation, usability, functionality and design
