**********************************************************

How would you reinvent customer experience so that users (like yourself) love it?

You have probably experienced this many times: certain services or interactions with companies are unnecessarily complicated, slow, ineffective or simply awful. 

Level up your game and join our Red Hat Hackathon! 

This will be an amazing opportunity for you to leverage the power and disruptiveness of open source. What better way to do this than by teaming up with your best dev colleagues, compete against the best developers in EMEA, and take home awesome prizes! 

Here is what you can expect:

Providing outstanding customer experience that customers actually love is especially challenging in more traditional industries like banking, insurance, telecommunication, public sector/government, healthcare, manufacturing, or transportation. These markets offer great opportunities for change and disruption as has been shown by many examples such as Uber disrupting transportation,Twilio disrupting telcos and Stripe or Transferwise disrupting banking. 

We want you to be the next disrupter who creates a customer experience that users actually love. 

Sky is the limit. You choose the area. You choose the app, service, frameworks or programming languages. We only want you to leverage the power of open source technology provided by Red Hat. 

Seeing is believing: Come and show us how you ReBoot customer experience with open source!
