Queen City Hackathon

The Analytics and Big Data Society (ABD Society)was one of the first in the area to form a professional organization to support the growth of analytics and big data through professional development.The society enables the conglomeration of knowledge between academia, business, and government. It strives to help develop educational programs that model effective data use and functional business strategies. This allows members to enable data-driven decision-making as well as acquire exceptional analytics talent and leadership.Our vision is to establish Charlotte as a National Analytics and Big Data hub for research and talent by encouraging a collective conglomeration of knowledge among academia, business, and government.

<H3>DATA SCIENCE FOR IMPROVING CHARLOTTE - We're Back, bigger and better!!!!!</H3>
More Swag, more tacos and more data!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Queen City Hackathon is Charlotte's largest data science and machine learning hackathon, organized for those who believe in the power of data analytics in improving the lives of people in the city. 
<H3>THE GOAL</H3>
Charlotte is an awesome city to live in, but like every city, it comes with challenges- skyrocketing housing prices, a lack of economic mobility, rush-hour gridlock, rising crime rates, and more. We believe Charlotte's robust tech community can help lead the effort to improve life in the city by using data science and machine learning. This Hackathon is open to all, and we will have data science and engineering mentors on-hand to lend advice to teams.
