DevFest Florida 2016 is running a Tango Hackathon<a></a>. Attendees of DevFest Florida are invited to compete! We're going to have some Tango devices on hand for participants to test their apps out on. With the success of Pokemon Go, one of the most popular augmented reality apps on the market today, you should definitely be checking out Tango. Come out and learn how to incorporate its features into your existing apps or build the next big disruptive app!

As DevFest Florida is a single day event we are encouraging folks to get familiar with the APIs and even start building your apps or getting the artwork and design done before the event. In fact if you want to show up with a finished app that's ready but not yet in the Play Store that's fine too. At the end of the day you'll get the chance to showcase your app to the audience. Even if you don't win, you'll reach a bunch of possible customers! 

Sign up for the Hackathon here.
