**Please Note: All tickets are non-refundable, non-transferable. ALL PRICES IN CAD$. This IoT Hackathon edition is primarily focused on Smart Farming Challenge and oriented on hands-on workshops helping with the education in following fields Getting Started with LoRa Getting Started with LTE-M Device and data Management Asset Tracking Weather Station for WiFi and LoRa and more What you will know after individual workshops Familiar with LoRa technology Understanding LoRa Infrastructure Community approach for LoRaWAN Familiarisation with The Things Network (TTN) Familiar with LTE-M technology Management of application, gateway, and devices Sending data using LoRa Display data on a dashboard Reporting and plots and more The IoT Hackathon that makes a difference and opens a whole new series of IoT events that will create an area to collaborate for technology developers, industry representatives, and investors interested in IoT opportunities. We want to do the things differently and not to be just another hackathon usually organized in "closed-loop" way, where participants get some IoT kits as input and the award as the output and nothing else is happening after hackathon. The hackathon is turned into an area with ongoing collaboration within IoT Hub and make a marketplace where participants can continue on projects and challenges and move them into real business opportunities. The challenge represents the topic opened by IoT Hub member who wants to find a solution for the area of his interest. It can be award by a price and continue in further cooperation with the member. More members can open a challenge together and work on it. In our ongoing effort to support the hackathon participants in their projects and challenges we are giving them an access to the IoT infrastructure providing mainly three subsystems such as data transfer for wireless communication technologies (LoRaWAN), management systems, hardware and software systems for collecting and storing data from connected systems, data processing for analyzing and visualizing the collected data. The hackathon can attend individuals who would like to join or create teams such as startup founders. Opportunity for teams to find new colleagues. All participants are welcome to work on their ideas that can lead to business opportunities or can accept the challenge opened by the IoT Hub member. For more information, visit the website at https://hackthebase.com See the trailer https://youtu.be/lpeBgfRIgPI During the event are provided drinks and food (breakfast, launch, dinner). Each attendee will get an IoT Kit (LoRa / WiFi).   Cancelation Policy: Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable
