Successful hackathons: value for organizations and hackers, experiences as organizer or participants

Hackathons are a hot topic in digital transformation to unleash hidden potential in your organization or across your industry. On an individual level, they can also help you to dive into new subject matters, empower you to work on something you always wanted to work on, or even change your career path. What different types of hackathons exist? What value do hackathons have for organizations and for me? How do I prepare for a hackathon?
After organizing, mentoring, and participating in various hackathons, I see it is necessary to share my bigger picture view of hackathons for a larger audience. Often the unanticipated was the most interesting of the participation. I will provide tips for both organizers and participants.
