Heads up on our #GOINVENT WORLD SERIES....

[Bettina]

Hi All,

I’m excited to let you all know (prior to going properly public!) that we’re planning a Series of 15-16 Workshop-style Hackathons for our 180k+ developer community.
The aims to get everyone rolling, hands-on with their IoT projects.
You’ll see below that we’ve placed a chunk of events in each region to make sure we see as many of you as possible when we’re ‘en route’.

We can’t wait!
 
These events are similar to some of our previous 1-day Hackathon/Workshops, but now include Pybytes and with a focus on full integrated IoT stack, including networks too. This is to enable all of our participants to walk away with a working project which includes hardware, LoRa, Sigfox and or cellular IoT network connectivity as well as use of a middleware platform (either Pycom or a partner platform or a combination of the two).

…. and now have dates in place for most of the events, as follows:

Amsterdam	        Netherlands	FRIDAY 29 JUNE 2018
Paris 		        France		MONDAY 11 JUNE 2018
Berlin 		        Germany	        MONDAY 21 MAY 2018

And, we’re not alone. These co-hosted workshops are for up to 100 attendees will be co-hosted with some of our partners. We’ve already hooked up with some great sponsors including Espressif (for the whole series). We’ll be announcing the other partners soon.

@bettina thanks for the advance information. While I am distressed that you are not visiting my home city of Perth (!) I am happy you have a couple of stopovers in my region..!
-When will we be able to book a place on these workshops? Are Pycom managing the booking process?
-Are the Australian and Singapore workshops linked to any other events in those cities?

thanks
Phil
