App-O-Motive

Developers:  Have an app idea you want to integrate into a car?

Brands:  Need an app built which incorporates your device, component, or vehicle?

App-O-Motive is designed for attendees (technical & non-technical) to build apps/mobile apps, get fed, compete for prizes across different categories.  Our mission is to spur innovation around existing products, and to provide a platform for gearheads and software engineers to work together to create entirely new products.  

This is your chance to meet new people and scout for teammates to work on new or current projects. Our hackathon will introduce you to the latest cutting edge tools, and from fellow attendees and mentors you will pick best practices.  

We Supply: Food to keep you going, and caffeine to keep you awake.   Also attending the event will be a number of our mentors, automotive and technical gurus to assist you in building faster, smarter, and with new tools.  You'll have non-stop access to the space all night long.

You Bring: Your laptop, skills & ideas. Come with a collaborative, team focused mindset and/or team up in advance on Twitter/Facebook/Google+ via the #atthack hashtag. Whether you are a backend person and code in Ruby/PHP/.NET or are a designer and only work with Illustrator, you are invited to attend this event. Every group needs a good balance of talent and your development skills are needed!
