Do you want to get started building LoRa devices with mbed, or show that you're the best long-range hacker? On April 5th - during the LoRa alliance meeting in Santa Clara - ARM, The Things Network and Multitech will be hosting a LoRa hackathon. This is your chance to build IoT devices with kilometers of range that run for years on a battery, and win prizes along the way.

The LoRa alliance meeting on April 4-6 is the go-to event for anyone involved in the LoRa ecosystem. If you were planning to attend the Open House on April 6th you'll get free additional access to the hackathon the day before, where mentors from Multitech, ARM and The Things Network will answer all your questions on the practical side of LoRa. You'll also have a chance to win mDot modules, Conduit gateways, development boards, and much more. We'll also bring a ton of sensors with us, so you can go as crazy as you want. In the afternoon of the 5th we'll be hosting some introduction sessions, and make sure everyone is set up. After that you'll be free to hack on whatever you want. We'll announce the winners on the morning of the 6th during the Open House.

To participate in the hackathon you'll need a ticket for the LoRa Alliance meeting (register as a non-member for the Open House). See you there!
