You can choose from three main challenges:

    1. Text the Masses: Create a real-time mobile-centric coordination system for the thousands of volunteers helping out.
    2. Fill Philips: Develop online and offline ways to drive attendance for the Division II & III Championships at Philips Arena
    3. Kevin Bacon Laynard: We all know that lanyards are pretty standard. Turner is hosting a technology conference during the Final Four weekend and asked "What if your lanyard buzzed when you were near someone you knew or had a LinkedIn connection to?" (Hence the name) 

    Or bring your own ideas to make the big weekend even better.
