All,
FINOS member companies had great participation last year and we would love to see you participate this year. I wanted to extend an invitation to those of you who are interested, for the Financial Services Autism Hackathon this year. It is an event where you get to put your skills to work for those with profound autism. The event is a hybrid event being held on April 3rd and 4th with the mission to bring FSI developers together to demonstrate how innovative Microsoft technologies can transform autism services for profound autism by tackling real world use cases provided by families and creating lasting open-source projects for the community.
We are excited about this year’s event with the focus on AI and all the promise it holds to transform services for those in need. Participants will learn about the challenges facing those with profound autism and will have the opportunity to get hands on with the latest technology, including AI. No special understanding of the domain is needed as the use cases are identified by parents of children with autism and experts in the field. All they need to do is register and select the use case which interests them the most.
There will be trainings on AI, GitHub, and Autism leading up to the event. For more information check out the main site or the GitHub repository. Microsoft will be hosting the event and Accenture/Avanade will be supporting it.
I hope you will consider participating.
Regards,
Peter, original founder and main organizer for the event
Background
The Financial Services Autism Hackathon was founded in 2018 with the mission to Bring FSI developers together to demonstrate how innovative Microsoft technologies can transform autism services for profound autism by tackling real world use cases provided by families and creating lasting open-source projects for the community. People with profound autism require round-the-clock care from an adult caregiver their entire lives. The use cases are chosen by parents and experts in the field of autism to ensure they are the most meaningful challenges facing families with profound autism. The developers come from financial service customer organizations such as Morgan Stanley, Nasdaq, Goldman Sachs, Bloomberg, State Street, Fidelity, etc. The use cases are led by Microsoft Cloud Solution Architects and Customer Success Managers who are familiar with running Proof of Concepts. The event is a hybrid event which generally draw 100+ participants.
