The SAS Hackathon 2023 is an annual event that challenges data enthusiasts to use their skills and knowledge to solve real-world problems related to humanitarian and business. The 2023 edition of the hackathon is set to begin on February 9, 2023, and SAS is hosting a virtual rally to get participants pumped up and ready to participate. The rally will be broadcast live on LinkedIn and YouTube and will be available on demand. During the event, SAS executives and technology subject matter experts will outline past hackathon successes, discuss the unique format of the SAS Hackathon, and explain the benefits of participation. Participants will have full access to SAS Viya on Microsoft Azure, the opportunity to network with other coders, and coaching on AI, cloud environments, and various industries. The SAS Hackathon has resulted in innovative solutions to real-world problems in the past, such as an AI-powered system to manage traffic and protect emergency vehicles and civilians, a model to monitor the decline of coral reefs, and a dashboard that empowers investors to make positive impact decisions. The registration deadline for the SAS Hackathon 2023 is February 28.
