About this event
Show up to Showdown!
Millions of transactions occur every day. Think about that: every single day millions of 1’s and 0’s fly through mainframes. But written in that code is the livelihood of people, small businesses, even huge companies.
At the Discover® Global Network API Showdown Hackathon, we’re looking for the brightest minds in FinTech to compete for one of two cash prizes of $8,000 and $3,000 each.
And the best part? We’re offering travel stipends of $350 per person for you to fly out to Chicago and compete.
