List of hackathons in Helsinki, Finland in 2017

Initial Coin Offering have gathered quite a bit of attention in recent few months. Most of the ICO's offer value to the token holder via offering them "application" or "utltiiy" tokens. Much of this is an unknown territory and still evolving. The basis of token economics is new and emerging field of "cryptoeconomics". The workshop aims at providing a quick introduction to overall process of how application should work, how the protocols should be designed, how the incentvisation mechanisms could be aligned and give an overall intuition of the adverbial models involved in model. It assumes basic knowledge in cryptography, blockchains, ICO's, economics and game theory.  Speakers:Anish Mohammed Anish has been working in the security and cryptography area for the past 18 years, as a researcher and as a consultant.

He has advised and worked for various banks and financial institutions including AIB, HSBC, Lloyds and Zurich. He is also on the advisory board for Adjoint, Arteia, Hyper-loop Transport Technologies, Privacy Shell, Collider-X , Ripple Labs and Chain of Things. Most recently he has been involved more involved in Cryptoeconomics and have been doing protocol design for various token offerings. He has been involved in tokenisation of ten protocols until now. He is currently the chief science officer of Blockchainsmokers and dean of blockchain at Exosphere. Franziska Lippoldt Franziska has been interested in emerging technologies such as robotics and 3d printing. Most recently she has been teaching blockchain and solidity for Exosphere this summer. She also has a Master in mathematics. Her other interests include Machine Ethics and its applications in blockchain. She organized a workshop for machine ethics in November in Berlin.

When Big Data became a hot topic a couple of years ago, Dan Ariely compared it with teenage sex, saying that everyone talks about it, nobody really knows how to do it, everyone thinks everyone else is doing it, so everyone claims they are doing it. Things have changed since that. Today – whether they know how to or not - everyone´s doing it. The only difference is that some are doing it markedly better than others, increasing their efficiency and finding new revenue models on the way. If you want to be one of those on the frontline of the new technologies and you´re also in the search of ways to maximize the profit of your company, join us for this hands-on workshop! During the session, the speakers Taavi Tammiste and Asko Seeba will:    demystify the main concepts around using data science give you a descriptive overview of machine learning and big data capabilities go through the case studies of fuckups and do some hands-on thought-exercises to demonstrate how the theory works in real life and how you can use it in your favor The event is free and in English! About the speakers: Taavi Tammiste studied Telecommunications engineering and signals processing and worked for several years in a field that provides data communications to the masses. While working at Tele2 he was a part of a team that demonstrated what actual business value machine learning can bring and he has been working with data science ever since.  He is currently building a team of mad scientists at Mooncascade to develop the next generation of predictive analytics and AI assisted cognitive services.   Asko Seeba has been working in software industry for 20+ years. He was the one to build up Skype Mobile Team from 0 to 40 people in 2 years and also helped to put a start to an international hackathon Garage48. These days Asko leads the region's fastest growing software and product development company Mooncascade which Co-Founder and CEO he is.

One can also make the demo by themselves or find a group at the event. The program consists of helpful presentations and workshops which guide you on how to create your first demo. In addition, we teach you the basics of demoscene and democulture. Please note that this event is for ages 18 and up. http://graffathon.fi
