As the Innovation and Networking Society (IONS), we organize a range of events designed to help our ambassadors cultivate their innovative thinking, enhance their networking skills, and strengthen their personal branding.
Project Altair Hackathon
The Project Altair Hackathon, IONS’ flagship event, unites ambassadors every year. Working in teams, they apply their analytical abilities to develop technological innovations that tackle real-world challenges, all aligned with the year’s chosen theme.
Coffee With IONS
Coffee With IONS is a networking event where we invite experts from various tech fields, such as Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Fintech, and more, to share their valuable insights on succeeding in the tech industry and to provide professional advice. This event also offers our ambassadors a chance to develop networking skills and form meaningful connections, which are crucial for securing internships and mentorships in their careers.
Tech Week
Tech Week is a virtual event designed to educate our ambassadors about various sectors within the tech industry, offering valuable tips on achieving proficiency and success in the field. Throughout the week, IONS invites experts from different tech sectors to share their personal journeys into the industry and provide key insights.
Workshops
IONS also offers a range of workshops designed to equip ambassadors with the skills and confidence needed to participate in their first hackathon. The skills they acquire in these workshops will benefit them in future hackathons and other professional pursuits.
