We are incredibly excited to launch the first steps toward the November 2017 UniGroup Hackathon! From this 2-day session, we believe our people can create unique, innovative solutions to one of the biggest problems facing UniGroup business. We also believe that we will see serious talent and creativity emerge - sometimes within teams, sometimes within individuals. Experimentation and rapid learning are huge parts of the new culture we want to cultivate at UniGroup and this event will provide a great forum to try that. We look forward to seeing what you can do!
