Event Info
I define “hackathon” very broadly: Hacking is creative<br>problem solving. (It does not have to involve technology.)
A hackathon is any event of any duration where people come<br>together to solve problems. Most hackathons I’ve run also<br>have a parallel track for workshops.
Participants<br>typically form groups of about 2-5 individuals, take out<br>their laptops (if the event is technology themed), and<br>dive into problems.
Training workshops are a great<br>parallel track especially for newcomers but also for all<br>participants

Event Info
Thank you for joining us for this 2-day hybrid event! You had the chance to use your technical skills and<br>work as a team to make a positive impact for the Autism community.
How was 2025?
Over 200 people came in person and virtually, and participated on the 9th annual Financial Services Autism Hackathon , held at Accenture. Contributors from many financial companies (Morgan Stanley , UBS , Willis Towers Watson , JPMorgan Chase , Mastercard , Wellington Management , Deutsche Bank , State Street Bank ) and technology companies (Microsoft , Accenture , Avanade ) joined therapists, university professors, enthusiastic individuals, and more, to create amazing solutions, selected by a panel of experts for this year, to be tackled. We were blessed with a set of amazing panelists for the judging ceremony too - individuals from Morgan Stanley , Microsoft , Mastercard , Accenture and Avanade provided feedback on the solutions - which got infused with AI fully this year; every solution ended up using a version of AI, Copilot, etc somehow. Whether it was In-Session Copilot, Program Development Copilot, On-Boarding Copilot, Friendly Neighborhoods Copilot, Metaverse for Job Support, or Metaverse for Social Practice, we pulled all breaks and did something groundbreaking in just mere 48 hours - most of the participants never dealt with C#, AI, Azure, HoloLens, etc ever.
What is a Hackathon?
A Hackathon is an event in which people come together to solve a problem. Participants will combine<br>creativity with problem solving in a high energy, collaborative environment. Hackathons are an<br>opportunity for people to bring their unique skillsets, to learn, and to make a meaningful<br>contribution.
Where do I start?
If you are interested in participating in the 2026 Hackathon, please<br>sign up<br>! Sign up individually or as a group. We will align you with a<br>use case and a team and provide training resources to prepare you for the event.
How do I prepare?
We provide training sessions so that you are armed with the skills needed for success! The<br>training cover key technologies (Cloud, Github, IoT, Machine Learning, AI, etc.). We will also<br>arrange Autism Awareness sessions relating to the use cases. Please check back for updates as the<br>event gets closer!
