Going back to 2016, the Asurion Hackathon was created out of an opportunity to drive innovation from within. This event brings an opportunity for innovators within asurion to creatively solve real-time challenges that we face as a company, every day. Not only does has the hackathon given our employees the creative power to innovate and build possible solutions to real problems – but a few years back, a solution spun up during a hackathon turned into a full-blown AI tool used every day by our fraud detection team. How cool is that?

Fast forward to 2024. The annual hackathon brought together 102 employees in 26 teams and challenged them to solve one of nine real-world business challenges for Asurion. Teams were given 48 hours to build their solution and then present to a panel of judges consisting of Asurion's Chief Technology Officer and ten other Vice Presidents. Solutions and presentations were judged against five key criteria: business impact (30%), innovation (30%), user experience (15%), simplicity/elegance (15%), and the prestige (10%).
