  • The Hackathon is designed to help designers & developers to rapidly create new innovative solutions using an open ecosystem platform and open API suite.  
  • The entire event is designed as a learning and innovation platform.  We pride ourselves on the quality expertise provided both as training and 1:1 support. 
  • The Open API suite has been crowd sourced from across industry and these APIs are currently adopted by many communications service providers around the globe.
  • The ecosystem platform exposes capabilities that are explicitly selected to help design solutions towards the challenges outlined for the hack. 
  • As an innovator at the hack you can mash your product with many of these services to create new innovative solutions.  
  • The fresh code rule applies to code created at the event, any integration code where new services are mashed together.  You need to be explicit about whats fresh and whats not in your submission. 
  • The open hack also provides open data which can be used to enable greater context based decision making and therefore more efficient applications. 
  • In summary, the open hack = open data + open platform + open APIs, as the key ingredients provided to stimulate innovation towards the challenges posed, and of course lots of good food, fun and games also!
  • We are passionate about the challenges outlined for the hack.  Cities face tremendous difficulties in the future and improved efficiency in decision making based on real time data can be key to helping to solve these problems. There is also a climate focus in the challenges.  Recognizing the important role that citizens and companies can make to increased climate awareness and reducing CO2 emissions is a new feature to our event.  The event also builds upon the macro IoT trend in the industry today.  
  • The hackathon is also designed to gain feedback on important new APIs such as the Privacy API.  This new API is designed taking into account new EU regulations regarding end user privacy rights. 
  • TM Forum as an organisation is committed to the collaborative development of common open APIs for ease of enabling communications across ecosystems. 
  • The {open}:hack will take place between 4:00pm CET on Friday May 6th & Saturday May 7th in the CEEI Building, 1 Boulevard Maître Maurice Slama, 06200 Nice - map
  • Sponsor and Administrator: The Hackathon is sponsored and administered by TM Forum.  240 Headquarters Plaza, East Tower, 10th Floor;  Morristown, NJ 07960-6628 USA
