Hyperpublic is proud to be presenting today at the Fall 2011 HackNY Hackathon. HackNY is a non-profit organization in NYC who's aim is to "federate the next generation of hackers for the New York innovation community". Twice per academic year, once in the fall and once in the spring, they bring together undergrad and graduate computer science students from all over the Northeast for a 24-hour hackathon hosted at NYU.
This year Hyperpublic sponsored a team of 6 students from CMU by transporting them from Pittsburgh and setting them up with lodging, pizza, and caffeine - the staples of any successful weekend hack. We'll be presenting our places database and our deals and events api to the 300+ students who have showed up for the event, and hopefully some cool hacks get built using Hyperpublic data.
For anyone in attendance, we'll be around for a good portion of the 24-hour hacking period, and we're always reachable at @hyperpublic or at contact@hyperpublic.com.
