Is it simpliflying how to find information about cheap flights? Delivering a traveler's dream about an authentic and unique journey? Or presenting it all in a seamless mobile app?

Tnooz, the global leader in news and analysis about the digital travel economy, invites you to join up to 100 developers, gain access to industry sponsors' technology and create amazing solutions for travelers.

The focus of the hackathon is airline and travel shopping and passenger experience. Airberlin, XapiX.io and other travel industry and technology sponsors will provide APIs and other tools to enable teams of develpers to build prototypes of new products and services.

Tnooz will offer two prizes: €1,500 to one winning team and €1,000 to the People's Choice team as selected by a vote of developers present. Airberlin and other API sponsors will offer prizes to be named later.

Developer teams will be required to select one or more "challenges" – travel issues or traveler problems – that will be announced at the start of the hackathon. Participants will design and code during the weekend, then demo to judges at the conclusion of the event.

airberlin, XapiX.io and other technology sponsors will be on-site for mentoring and support. See the FAQs below for more details.

Join us for a creative, collaborative and competitive weekend to improve travel for all.
