Blockchain + IoT Hackathon

The rapid advancement of Blockchain and IoT technologies present a challenge to businesses of all scales. Join us for a weekend of exploration into the industry’s most cutting edge innovations and how participants address specific challenges aligned to their business needs.

Plug and Play is hosting a Blockchain + IoT hackathon at the Plug and Play Tech Center in Sunnyvale, California on October 6th-8th. The hackathon will bring together a mix of developers, designers, entrepreneurs and tech visionaries to develop innovative and demonstrative IoT prototypes with a payments or finance component.

The event is sponsored in part by EY, and we will announce more exciting tech partners offering their APIs and hardware soon! Prizes will also be announced shortly :)
