Project Overview
- Description of the project: Alternate Future Summit is an initiative designed to encourage developers, start-ups, technologists, and corporate management to unite and develop solutions that’ll help large scale recovery and define future.
- What problem is your project solving? We will have sponsors who will identify their own internal problems, for the groups participating in the hackathon can solve. We are focusing in three main areas:
- HR strategy, future of work and training development
- Learning continuity, innovation management and distance learning challenges and solutions
- Ecosystem development, change management and technology landscape
- What is the final product (e.g. App, URL, Medium, etc)? URL
- How does this project drive value to the Ocean ecosystem? This is best expressed as Expected ROI, details here.: We would love Ocean to be sponsoring this event, in order for participants (other sponsors, speakers, etc) to be able to get to know the ecosystem. We can give prizes as Ocean tokens to the winners of the challenges; you, as a sponsor, can give talks on blockchain and on your ecosystem particularly; and, in our sessions on analytics, we can explain how Ocean works. All these streams can be launched later on YouTube and Facebook, so it would give a lot of visibility to the Ocean ecosystem. Nevertheless, we expect to create at least 100 wallets addresses in Ocean for the participants.
We would be happy to propose challenges from Ocean community to be developed in the space of blockchain with intern teams of 6-8 people each. The event can be announced in Ocean network for involving decentralized projects.
Developer profiles can be shared post event for hirings.
All certificates are being distributed in blockchain ledgers with Certtin (a South African blockchain company) which could have ocean branding for the challenges.

Project Deliverables - Roadmap
