Strategy, statistics, and machine learning showdown.

About the Event

What is Code & Conquer?

Code & Conquer is a high-intensity dataset analytics challenge for teams who live and breathe data. Participants receive a real-world dataset and must clean, explore, visualise, and build predictive models to uncover hidden insights within a tight time limit.

The event tests your ability to apply statistical thinking, write efficient code, and present findings clearly under pressure. Whether you're a data scientist in training or a machine learning enthusiast, this is your arena to prove your mastery.
