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.
