Zebra Enterprise Hackathon

Create whacky but plausible enterprise apps in under 12 hours! Apply specific technologies to win extra prizes!

The AppForum 2015 Enterprise Hackathon is a standalone activity running the day before the Zebra Technologies AppForum developer's conference on 13th and 14th October.

It is free-to-enter and runs all day on Monday 12th Oct for those who wish to spend some of their time in London in a creative way and gain a chance to win one of the great prizes including Amazon gift vouchers, Parrot drones, Pebble Time Smartwatches and Go Pro 4 Session.

Challenge Theme and Criteria 

The theme for the Hackathon will be revealed at the start on Monday 12th October. The theme will define a broad definition of the topic but will give participants the freedom to create and develop a wide range of apps within the theme.

Development language is open, so use whatever you are comfortable with - NET, C/C++, Java or Web based...native or via a developer framework/tool.

The type of app is also left open to participants, it can be B2C, B2B or B2E or a combination! The only guidance is that it should be designed with the enterprise in mind, ie not a purely consumer/games app.

The judging panel will apply certain Challenge Criteria for which extra credit will be awarded, but the final decision of the judging panel will essentially be subjective.

As well as overall winner and runner-up, there will be some addition Technology-Category Prizes awarded for participants who incorporate those specific technologies as part of their submission.

The Technology Categories will be listed on Judging Criteria Area and more may be added nearer the time as new Technology Category sponsors come on board. Initial Technology Categories already defined include: 

• Best use of RhoMobile development suite
• Best use ALK CoPilot Mapping Tools (not Sat-Navigation)
