Identity for All Hackathon is here! Come Innovate with us!

I am excited and energized to present to you a codefest on the Microsoft Identity Platform. The solutions for a secure, diverse, and inclusive future require different perspectives, fresh ideas, and new voices. We look forward to seeing many of you join the Hackathon, find purpose in the products and solutions you create, and above all, have fun! 

The hackathon starts May 24 and runs through June with submissions closing on June 30. To participate in the Hackathon, go to https://id4all.devpost.com and click on “Join Hackathon”. The Hackathon is open to everyone who would like to innovate worldwide – no matter what your role, org, location, background, or skillset is.
