New York Silicon Alley Weekly Newsletter 17-February-2012
ISSUE 17 February 2012 It's Friday! A week from today we are hosting our 48hr mobile app hackathon along with 5 other cities (Dallas, San Francisco, London, Paris and Berlin). 48hrs to pitch your idea, join a team, prototype an app across any platform you want, utilizing any language you wish! All leading up to presentations, prizes given by us and our sponsors, 1 team receiving the title of "Best Local App - NYC" and 72hrs later that same team possibly gaining the title of "Best Global App". The possibility of worldwide recognition and media coverage in 72hrs worth attending? I sure think so! I don't have an app idea but hopefully there's a team I can join. Well, I'm looking forward to drinking loads of coffee and looking like a zombie at the end of the weekend - NOT! I am however looking forward to working with those attending and seeing all the great things you create. Look forward to seeing some friendly faces and meeting new ones. Have a wonderful weekend.
