Home | About | CreateNow Hackathon

The first ever CreateNow Hackathon will see ServiceNow administrators and developers racing the clock to create innovative, transformational uses of the ServiceNow Service Automation Platform. This is going to be a rare opportunity to work side-by-side with some of the world's most experienced ServiceNow developers during an eleven-hour event that will truly illustrate the power of the ServiceNow platform.

Form a team or work alone, and create anything at all – an application, a game, a tool … its up to you.

Compete for bragging rights and awards by building the most unique and creative thing you can imagine. Of course, you are in Las Vegas with ServiceNow, so be prepared to have lots of fun while you create your masterpiece!

When is this happening?

The hackathon starts after lunch on May 14 and runs straight through until midnight. Food, drinks, and entertainment will be provided. Top creations will be showcased in the exhibit hall during lunch on May 15 where teams will compete for votes from all Knowledge13 attendees. The winning team will be announced during the keynote on May 16.

How do I participate?

This is a hackathon - so expect to compete against the best of the best. But, don't worry if you aren't a technical guru. This is a team effort and you can contribute other skills like planning, promotion or creativity.

Who is sponsoring this event?

Fruition Partners will be sponsoring the CreateNow Hackathon.

How do I form a team?

You can start right now in the ServiceNow community, or you can form a team once you arrive at Knowledge13. You can even fly solo if you like!

What can I win?

In addition to bragging rights, each member of the winning team gets to take home an Apple TV.

How will creations be judged?

Your team's goal is to wow a roaming team of judges that includes senior ServiceNow development leaders who will be looking for originality, quality, user experience and design, and of course, innovative use of the ServiceNow platform. Judges will reward top teams with "golden" tickets during the last hour of the hackathon. These teams will move onto the final round to show off their work in the exhibit hall on Wednesday during lunch, where all Knowledge13 attendees will vote to determine the ultimate winner to be announced during the Thursday keynote. Participants and winners should be willing to share their creations with ServiceNow and work with ServiceNow to promote the hackathon via press release, webinar, etc.

We only have a few guidelines...

  • There are no limits to what can be built, but it must built on ServiceNow. Integrations and use of external data feeds are ok.
  • Clean instances (containing demo data) will be provided to teams at the start of the event.
  • You can plan in advance, but cannot start building until the commencement of the hackathon. For example, update sets and code cannot be prepared in advance and loaded into your hackathon instance.
  • Have fun and create something awesome in 11 hours!

How do I sign-up?

Seats are limited. You must register in advance through the lab registration process.
