Over the Air is an annual 2-day mobile developer event with a mix of technical workshops put on by the community, a Hackathon to celebrate programming & making as a creative discipline, and Lightning Talks to entertain and inspire.

Now in it’s 9th year, the 2016 edition will take place on the 25th & 26th of November, at St. John’s Hoxton.

What is the Event Structure?
1 Keynote Speaker, 1 Hackathon Show & Tell,  10 Lightning Talks, 12 Hackathon Award Categories, 36 hours of Hacking, 40 Workshops, and 500 participants.

What are we Hacking?

Mobile apps, mobile web, mobile devices, prototyping platforms such as Arduino, mBed & Raspberry Pi, wearable technology, robotics, LEGO Mindstorms …everything and anything, with a focus on connected devices and “things.”

So, is this MY kind of event? 
Over the Air is an event that defies easy description. It’s a celebration of creativity. It’s a festival of all things hackable. It’s a place where attendees can learn about technologies, trends and techniques. It’s a sleep-over. It’s a two day party. It’s an event where practitioners of creative and technical disciplines can come together to learn from each other.

It’s about recognizing software development as a creative discipline. It’s an opportunity to build new relationships. It’s a space where you can build cool stuff and show it off to an appreciative crowd. It’s all these things. And by the way, it’s free.

We promise the following: if you attend, you will learn about stuff you didn’t know about before, will have the opportunity to meet and collaborate with people you haven’t met before, will be inspired, and possibly amazed. By the end of the day Saturday, you will definitely be exhausted. We’re not saying it will change your life, but we’re not saying it won’t either.
