Making travel better
The goal of the Global Travel Hackathon is to create useful and interesting travel-related applications to make travel better.
Idea examples
Direction Guru
A web widget for concerts, events, and hotels to show their customers how to get there. Provides personalised directions to each user based on their social network profile.
Friend Stalker
Pretend you’re planning a holiday to either Rome or Istanbul. What if an app could tell you which of your friends have been to these places? You could check out their albums and chat to them about their experiences before making your decision.
Cheapest Getaway from the Airport
You’re at the airport and you want to get yourself to the city. What about a simple app for comparing the available means of transport?
This is an opportunity to develop your own ideas!
Agenda
The venues will be open from 6 pm.
The Hackathon will start on November 30 at 8 pm and end 24 hours later.

FAQ
Intellectual property — who owns what was created at the event?
What you create is yours. No one else, including Kiwi.com, has the rights to use it outside of the competition.
What size must the teams be?
Each team must consist of 2 – 5 members.
Can I apply without any ideas for an app?
Yes, you can. You can either generate ideas during the brainstorming session on Friday evening, or you can join someone with their own idea for an application.
