Veeam’s Community Hackathon 2024 was a truly special experience – my first hackathon at all! Our team was made up of dedicated members, and even though I had limited coding skills, I was still able to contribute in some meaningful ways.
From the beginning, our collaboration was open, and goal-oriented. What stood out to me the most was the great sense of community and the opportunity to expand my professional network. After a few intense days full of learning, creativity and fun, we reached the highlight: our project was selected as the winner! It was an incredible journey, and one thing is clear: this won’t be my last hackathon. I’ll have to join again!

It was my first time attending the hackathon. Together with a team of both well-known colleagues and people I didn’t know at first we teamed up very quickly and got the ideas flowing. During the tight time frame we assigned different tasks to our team members and stood in contact very frequently to declare our topic asap. After a short decision period we got the code flowing and were able to pull a first alpha of our code and made a mobile app for VCSP. It was a blast to cooperate with people all around the globe and even win the hackathon with our international team in that short period of time!

The Veeam Community held a hackathon in 2023 which I had the pleasure to be a part of. It was my first ever hackathon and it was a great experience from meeting the group assigned to you, working through ideas to seeing your concept come to life. It also is great when you win as well. I highly recommend participating in one.

I took part in Veeam ‘s first Community Hackathon. I am not a coder so initially did not sign up but was told that you did not need to code in order to participate.
This was in fact that the case and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience as a Team Leader. One of the biggest benefits was that the hackathon mirrored similar situation in real life when people with different skillsets come together to solve a problem or create a project.
Now that I have my first hackathon under my belt I am very much looking forward to the next one since the experience that I gained will undoubtedly help me do even better next time!

The Veeam Community Hackathon was a great opportunity to take a new “product” from idea to development to “launch” (hackathon presentation) together with a wonderful team.
