You want to get in close contact with top-notch companies in the field of the Internet of Things? Then, you should consider the IoT Hackathon in Munich, Germany on June 10-11, 2018!

The IoT Hackathon is a two-day event where you can tackle practical challenges proposed by companies, such as ARM, Ericsson, MHP, MSA, and Rohde & Schwarz. The objective of this international event is not only to solve practical problems but also to have fun, do social networking, and maybe meet potential employers. Any student (under-graduates and graduates, junior and senior PhDs) can participate. During the hackathon, representatives of the companies will be on site.

Participation in IoT Hackathon is free of charge but you must apply (details below).

The IoT Hackathon will be held in conjunction with ACM MobiSys 2018, the ACM SIGMOBILE premier conference for the design, implementation, usage, and evaluation of mobile computing and wireless systems, applications, and services.
