Avon Hackathon is an event where a bunch of super talented Avoners and creative students from different Universities and student associations get together in one space and build ideas on how to gain sales and Representatives in urban areas and turn them into projects that will bring a benefit for Avon Romania.

The objective is to build outstanding projects not only for winning but for contributing to the increased awareness of the Avon brand in urban environment.
