Client Testimonials
“The success of our Traffic Jam hackathon wouldn’t have been possible without Hackworks. Patti and her team oversaw many of the the event logistics, and through their experience and professionalism, pulled off a seamless weekend.”
“Scotiabank Hack IT was an excellent opportunity for us to engage with some incredibly promising talent working in the tech space.”
“An amazing event across three continents. The Oxford Global Hackathon helped us gather a multitude of perspectives from around the world. These perspectives should help drive innovation in the construction tech industry and speed up the commercial construction process.”
“When you conceive of something like Gift the Code, you’re understandably nervous, because it’s so new and you have no idea where it will go. In partnering up with Hackworks, our team at Capital One felt like our ambitious idea was as cared for by them as it was by us and it reassured us that it was going to work. As it grew, I think it became a labour of love for all of us and that is what ultimately made it such an amazing and special event. Even more awesome is the continued desire by Hackworks to pitch in after the fact, to help bring the results to light. We’re so impressed with such a fantastic partner, it has been a truly memorable year.”
