Message from your Director
2019 has been the biggest competition for GovHack in Western Australia to date.
* 16 sponsors contributed a significant amount of support in cash and in-kind to enable us to provide a weekend hackathon for our competitors and the community totally free! Thank you to them all for their support and cooperation
* 13 Volunteers on the State Operations Team worked in the 8 months leading up to the competition to organise venues, sponsors, wifi, and ensure we were able to bring this great community initiative to you
* A further 15 volunteers worked with our State Operations Team over the competition weekend to ensure that everything ran smoothly and that everyone at each event were safe and got fed.
* 13 Mentors from our sponsors gave freely of their time to provide advice and information to competitors on the challenges and datasets available
* 106 competitors formed 22 teams across 5 sites in WA to put forward 25 projects for judging over 76 challenges nationally

Just thinking on those figures above - it is a huge commitment of time and effort by all involved and it is with a very happy heart that I sincerely thank everyone that has been involved in GovHack WA 2019.

CONGRATULATIONS and THANK YOU

You have made it an amazing event and there have been some very exciting projects developed and we do hope that we might see some of them taken forward to the next stage of development.

Keep your eye out for the next email with the winners in each Challenge and a link to their video.  This will enable you to check out the great ideas and high standard of entries that judges were faced with.

In the meantime consider attending West Tech Assemblage on Monday the 18th November at Pan Pacific Hotel in Perth.  This is a great place to meet other innovators and is where I initially met many great collaborators that supported GovHack.  Information and links are below for more information.  I hope to see some of you there.

Until the next edition
Warm regards
Sue-Ellen
