about this event

50 seats. £1,000+ in prizes. Unlimited food. And we're hiring.

One day to build in retail and behavioural data. Your build is scored out of 100 on execution, problem fit, demo and pitch.

The twist: there's a food room full of the most innovative and tasty FMCG brands. Try something, log it, earn a point. Film a short, honest review and earn more. Those points become a multiplier on your build score.

Structure & Prizes: 2 tracks (to be announced). 1 sidequest. £300 overall winner for build score x multiplier. 2x £100 track winners for build score alone (has to be different from overall winner). £50 side-quest winner. Hampers, gadgets, merch and other prizes!

Timetable: 09:00 - Arrival & team formation; 10:00 - Intro; 11:00 - Build; 14:00 - Lunch; 17:30 - Submission, closed judging & break; 18:30 - Live final; 19:30 - Closing Ceremony; 20:00 - Home.

Open to technical and non-technical specialists and generalists. You can come with a team, form one on the day or go solo. Judges to be announced.

EAT_HACK is hosted by Really Good Culture. We're building the world's first predictive retail intelligence system.
