Retail Week is giving retailers and start-ups the chance to take part in a dedicated hackathon for the retail sector with the launch of the 24-hour Retail Week Hackathon.

Held during the Retail Week Technology and Ecommerce Summit in September, the Retail Week Hackathon will bring together some of the brightest minds in retail and technology to generate new and innovative ideas. 

The theme of the Hackathon is ‘Creating the Ultimate Customer Experience’ and teams will compete to deliver the best idea to an expert judging panel.

The three teams that develop the best ideas will deliver their pitches on stage to an audience of senior technology and ecommerce directors, and the winner will receive a trophy and full coverage in Retail Week.

The Hackathon is free to enter. Enter online today here.

Entry deadline: 20 August 2014
