Two presenters stand at the front of a large auditorium taking a selfie with the audience behind them. The man on the left is smiling and holding the camera out, while the woman on the right, wearing glasses and a grey jumper with a “Liz” name sticker, is also smiling. Behind them, rows of attendees sit in tiered seating, waving and looking toward the stage. Large screens with presentation slides are visible in front of the audience, and stage lights illuminate the scene.

The Local Government Innovation Hackathon brought 150 people together to design fast, data-driven solutions to homelessness and temporary accommodation.
