Episode guests: Michael Schwartz from RIB Software, Ole Berard from Molio, Teemu Lehtinen from KIRAHub Episode sponsor: AEC Hackathon and BLOXHUB The AEC Hackathons are an amazing event over different weekends in different countries.

But the outcome was excellent and we ended up down the rabbit hole of legislation to drive change as well as change management within corporate organisations.

Freedom away from the office enables people from different disciplines even competitors to work together to create something new. Enjoy!
