Work with like minded people to gather around and develop cutting-edge applications in teams using data and platforms provided. You don’t have to come with a team, you should be able to find people to form a team at the Appathon itself.

On the weekend of October 8-9 in London there will be ‘coding competitions’ or “Appathons” where

approximately 1500 students will have access to government data sets to build applications on

well-known consumer facing platforms.

The winners and their teams will be invited to attend an exclusive awards ceremony in central London

in November and the winners and runners-ups will be invited to take part in a high profile industry

event on November 19 AND One member of each winning app team (there will be up to 9 app winners) will receive an invitation to

take part in a high-level tour of Silicon Valley and SxSW in March 2012.
