Ideathon - North America

The San Francisco Company is a humanitarian organization hosting a new series of Ideathons across the globe. These events encourage teams to come tackle a surprise prompt in exchange for free patenting services. Our prompts regard advanced necessities in the humanitarian field. We encourage teams to be well-rounded or highly specialized for effective strategies. Computers and phones are allowed. Sessions allow up to three hours of work time but teams can submit answers at any point before that.

Winners are determined by a panel of professionals working in specialized areas closely related to the prompt. Winner announcements are sent out three weeks after the date of the Ideathon via email. Winners will be awarded medals and recognized by media publications.

All ages and backgrounds are welcome. Any group with a team member(s) under 18 must have at least one guardian in attendance, and guardians must purchase a ticket to enter.
