We have a list of accomplished industry experts who have signed up as mentors and judges”. The ideation hackathon gives innovators, industry leaders, technology & business leaders from all over the world the opportunity to engage, act together as a community.

Speaking about the motivation behind the initiative, Florian Mesny, co-founder of Trave/Scrum, said: “We want to mobilize talented people, mentors, companies, experts to #JoinTheScrum and take action. The event kicks off a larger overarching movement to Rethink.
Rebuild. Reinvent the Travel and Tourism industry”.
