General information

Welcome to the AIM Healthcare Hackathon Vienna 2026. This guide has everything you need for the two days: the schedule, your track, your team, how to submit and which tools you get.

Venue

IBM Austria, Obere Donaustraße 95, 1020 Vienna. Check-in is at the IBM reception on the ground floor on Thursday, 29 October from 16:00. Bring a photo ID. You get a visitor badge there.

House rules at IBM

We are guests in an office building, so a few rules apply.

Wear your visitor badge visibly the whole time.
Stay in the rooms we use. IBM staff are with us the whole time.
On Thursday, be inside the building before 18:00. The reception lets nobody in after that.
The building closes on Thursday at about 22:00, when the last IBM staff leave. There is no all-nighter. Take your laptop and valuables with you when you go.
On Friday the building opens at 09:00 and we leave after the closing at about 19:00.

What to bring

Your laptop and its charger, and a photo ID for the reception. Power and wifi are at every seat. You do not need to bring anything else.

Food and drinks are provided on both days, on Thursday evening and through Friday. The catering is financed by the StV Postgraduale of the ÖH Med Wien. If you have a dietary requirement, tell us at the check-in desk.

Teams

Teams have at most five members. You can still switch teams or add members on site. When you submit, you name all members of your team again, so the submission counts, not the list in this guide.

Winners

There are three winners per track. After the submission deadline on Friday at 15:00, the jury reviews all submissions and picks the top three teams per track. Only those teams pitch on stage at 16:00.
