Zilliz at HackNC 2023
Halloweekend HackNC was great this year! As an alum, it was super exciting to get back to HackNC for my third appearance. This year, I came to represent Zilliz, give a workshop, and give a keynote speech.
There were over 1,300 registrations (wow!), 650 hackers, 80-something projects, and ONE winner for the Best Use of Zilliz! Big congratulations to the team “wellSpent”.

With features like travel planner, student debt planner, and other expense planners, users can forecast, strategize, and optimize their financial futures.
When asked what they were proud of, the team said:
