Speaker: Alex Jekowsky, Senior Director of Commerce, Modo Buying and selling are part of everyday student life, yet a campus marketplace is mostly unrepresented within a student’s mobile campus experience. In this session, we’ll be talking about the many ways a campus marketplace impacts the student experience. Spoiler alert: it is not just for convenience; we’ll be talking about creating an affordable, sustainable, safe, and engaged student-life experience on campus. The goal of this presentation is for you to walk away with the tools to create a complete and powerful campus application that goes beyond data and resource aggregation. You will learn how you to facilitate the daily commercial activities of your students, right inside your campus app, in minutes.

Speakers: Bill Allison, CTO & Ram Kapoor, CMO, UC Berkeley Bill and Ram will talk about their partnership and approach to both the brand and digital landscape at UC Berkeley.

This is a direct line to support them and help them achieve their goals from navigating through college to graduating. But the key isn’t to only ask them what they want or need, it is to involve them in the process of building a mobile experience for themselves and their peers. Which is exactly what the Modo Ideathon enabled, 240 students from 8 institutions across the country built and presented mobile applications that solved specific challenges on their campuses. Now, at Kurogo only, a panel of students from UC Berkeley, Florida State University, Cypress College, CSU Bakersfield, and TAMUCC will share their experiences and answer your questions on how, through the Ideathon, they were able to successfully leverage technology and build innovative solutions.

Speaker: Ana Sanchez, User Engagement Strategist, Modo Ideathon™ is a series of weekend-long competitions full of fun and innovation, where students take their ideas and build them into an app – no coding skills necessary. This season has come to an end after 240 students representing more than 25 different majors throughout 8 different institutions across the country created more than 70 mobile apps that addressed different challenges on their college campuses. Now, it’s time to announce the national winning team that created the app with the most impactful concept and successful execution. Join us to celebrate the winning team with an award of $10,000, sponsored by AWS Educate.
