IPS Connect will include a one day professional development course, immersing delegates in an accelerated project development scenario. Delegates will be teamed to navigate a real life IPS case study, facilitated by industry mentors, concept guidance and technical toolkits.

A full day hack-a-thon will follow, exposing delegates to a range of lean start-up, rapid problem solving methodologies. Applied across a range of delegate supplied problem statements by expert facilitators.

Join BMNT facilitators as we explore a range of problem statements within a lean, rapid problem solving environment. BMNT are hosting this hack-a-thon as a complementary extension to the IPS Connect format.
