Appian (NASDAQ: APPN) congratulates the winners of the Appian World
2019 Hackathon. Participants were tasked with leveraging the Appian
platform to showcase the effectiveness and speed of low-code
development. Hundreds of registrations were narrowed down to three
winners by a seasoned panel of judges including Black Girls Code
Founder and CEO, Kimberly Bryant and Neil Ward-Dutton, IDC’s VP of
AI and DX European Research Practices and Appian executives.
Finalists attended Appian World 2019
in San Diego, CA where they showcased their solutions to the
all-star panel of judges. The judges based their decisions on the
originality of the idea underlying the application, how well that
idea was executed by the developer, and the beneficial impact of
the solution. The submissions, covering a variety of industries and
use cases, all exemplified the power and simplicity of building
enterprise applications on the Appian platform.

- First Place: Kno.IT.All by Colleen Yu, Bryant
Glover, Mehdi Naghdi Tam, and Fiona MargaretenKno.IT.All is an

- Third Place: What’s for Dinner? by Jim
ConnerThis application will help you answer one of the most
challenging of family questions - What's for Dinner? Although
this application helps you to identify and discover your meal, it's
not really about food. The inspiration was to explore and learn how
Appian, micro-services, and practical amplified intelligence can be
combined to create a new and more compelling application and user
experience.
Prizes included cash ($5,000, $3,000,
and $2,000, respectively), plus free passes to Appian World 2020 in
Fort Lauderdale, Florida on March 8th to 11th. In addition, the

using traditional software technology is hard, and our mission at
Appian is to make building those solutions simple. Each year the
hackathon is open to anyone across the globe, challenging them to
take an idea and turn it into a unique enterprise application using
a free instance of our cloud platform. It is simply amazing to see
what our contestants were able to develop using our low-code
platform in such a short time. We congratulate our winners and look
forward to doing it all over again next year.”
