Design, surf, Alpha. June 23-27, Alfa Battle Camp in Sochi – registration is open

Hey!

We arrange international Alfa Battle Camp – a championship in which we will look for the best ideas for digital banking products. Especially for designers and researchers.

We have 6 main directions for which we are looking for ideas:

  1. Daily Banking (everyday purchases and payments)

  2. Family finance in digital

  3. Investments and savings (slow money)

  4. Phygital office

  5. Own business (individual entrepreneurs, self-employed)

  6. Beyond banking (ideas for new services)

We will invite the authors of the 100 best ideas to a 5-day online challenge, which will be led by leading product designers and UX researchers. 50 participants will go to the camp in Sochi to defend the final decisions. In 5 days you can go from testing your idea to creating an interactive prototype and UX testing under the guidance of experts from Alfa-Bank, SkillBox, Creative People, UsabilityLab and other companies.

Also at the camp:

  • we will tell you how we make our digital products
