Event details

Build for Change^® isn’t just a tagline for Pega — our company and solutions are all about change. That’s why Build for Change is the theme of the 2022 Pega Community Hackathon. During this virtual event, diverse teams will challenge each other to think differently and solve problems in new ways. Developers of all skill levels are invited to jumpstart Pega projects with the potential to quickly drive significant business value.

Building on the success of our previous two Hackathons, this year’s virtual event is both a challenge and an opportunity. It is a great way to kick-start new projects but also an opportunity to develop and hone new skills that will increase the success of every future Pega project.
