About this Event

Welcome to City Hackathon 2025!

Join us at the U. Memphis FedEx Institute of Technology for our City Hackathon November 7-9 to showcase your civic innovation, collaboration, technology and analytical skills! This registration form is specifically for people interested in joining a hacker team during the event. All skill and experience levels are welcome, but hackers must be 18 or older to participate. To learn about other ways to contribute, go to www.hackmemphis.com. Note your $10 registration fee will be refunded to you in cash when you show up at the event on 11/7 - This is just to ensure we have a good headcount for participants!

The Fall 2025 City Hackathon is a 36-hour event where volunteers with technical skills and creative ideas will work in teams to develop new solutions to a specific set of challenges. Each team will select one challenge and one type of solution to work on over the course of the weekend, and we will provide free meals, optional coaching and skill workshops to help teams refine their ideas throughout the event. On Sunday, November 9, each team will present their final work and proposed solution to a panel of judges, and multiple awards will be given including cash prizes.

The topics for this event are all about challenges the City of Memphis is trying to solve to improve services and residents’ experiences:

1) predictive analytics to manage blight;

2) tech improvements for small business partners; and

3) AI/data training to navigate City services.
