Innovators. Visionaries. Ignition enthusiasts. We’re thrilled to share that CSE ICON has emerged as one of the 33 finalists selected to participate in the first round of the highly anticipated 2023 Build-A-Thon challenge.
CSE ICON is a proud Ignition Premier Integrator. So, this recognition is a great chance to show our passion for innovation and creativity. By competing and aiming to develop groundbreaking Ignition solutions at the Ignition Community Conference (ICC), we’ll show our commitment to excellence.
From Dreamers to Innovators: The Build-A-Thon Competition
The Build-A-Thon is a competition leveraging the Ignition software hosted by Inductive Automation which culminates in a showdown at the ICC.
This year’s path to the ICC entails a single challenge for the 33 finalists. Only the first two teams to conquer this challenge will advance and get an invitation to compete in the final round of the Build-A-Thon. This challenge is designed to test the team’s technical acumen, problem-solving prowess, and understanding of the Ignition platform.
The challenge will take place on July 18th over various time zones as competitors range geographically from Australia to South America.
Where Ideas Ignite: The Ignition Community Conference
The ICC is an annual event organized by Inductive Automation. Experts, system integrators, developers, and Ignition users join this event to learn and share about their industrial operations.
In this three-day event, you’ll have the chance to connect and collaborate with like-minded individuals. Attendees can participate in keynote presentations, informative sessions, workshops, and discussions by industry leaders.
Not only that, but Inductive Automation also hosts the Ignition Exchange challenge. This is more of a collaborative repository of Ignition resources to help the community. You can download these resources or collaborate with other organizations to build packages that will help your development.
By attending the ICC, we aim to learn more about the latest technologies and industry topics. This knowledge will allow us to deliver exceptional services tailored to your needs. And, if we have the privilege of being chosen as one of the two finalist teams, we’ll do our best to emerge victorious.
