What is it about?

ACDC stands for Arctic Cloud Developer Challenge. It is a hackathon that happens every year at a venue in Holmenkollen. It's 3 days of hackathon + 1 day hangover. The event was created as a social happening by and for the community as a place where like-minded IT professionals can engage in friendly competition without worrying about the mercantile challenges.

Our goal is to push technology to new limits while we learn from each other and socialize. This great event has been hosted for over 10 years at the beautiful Voksenåsen.

Low-Code Charms

Low-Code Charms is a wide range of different spells concerned with low-code elements and properties, aiming to make the target perform certain actions, depending on the spell. Low-Code Charms could be some of the most powerful and game-changing spells in existence. Successfully casting a charm required concentration, precise drag-and-drop movements, and proper pronunciation of the spell’s incantation.

Pro-Code Potions

Unleash the magic of Pro-Code! We’re looking for smart, clean, and efficient code that makes your solutions sparkle. Show us how pro-code can work alongside low code to create something truly magical, going above and beyond the bounds of Power Platform. Magic happens when pro-code enhances low-code—impress us!

Weave a spell that bridges the gap between customer expectations and operational capabilities. Your solution should demonstrate how businesses can do more with less, while still delivering exceptional customer experiences through intelligent automation.

ALM Magic

Governance in general and application Lifecycle Management in particular are crucial parts for a successfull project. Even as a wizard student you should make sure to shad some light, maybe through a ALM Lumos spell, on those topics. Create some guidelines on how your solution would be handled from those perspectices and follow them to enable a healthy ALM. Make during the creation (like naming standards, using SPN).

Whether on device or web, with audio, video, keyboard, touch, mouse, or even owl-inspired input, deliver a solution that’s both impactful and enchanting. Prioritize accessibility, privacy, and an exceptional user experience. Use AI, LLMs, Copilot Studio, or your own blend of innovation to bring your idea to life—you decide the spell!
