Building Next-Generation Solutions for Defense with Hackathons

Join host Dr. Arun Seraphin, Executive Director of the Emerging Technologies Institute, for a conversation with Nicholas Lanham, Director of Enterprise Platforms and Data at KAIROS Inc., and Charles Ott, Solutions Strategist and Vice President at Maximus.

Throughout the conversation, we cover what the purpose of the Global Defense Hackathon is, how a Hackathon works, and what sets the NDIA/ETI Global Defense Hackathon apart from traditional Hackathons. Additionally, we answer the question how we can transition Hackathon solutions into DOD acquisition processes.
