I was impressed by the first BBM Apps Hackathon RIM threw in NYC and they promised to have more. @AlexKinsella pointed out that they have followed up on that promise with the announcement of NINE new Hackathons in the US, Canada, and around the world. Here is a list of the events:
- Waterloo September 28-29, 2011
- Toronto October 6-7, 2011
- Chicago Dates and details coming soon
- San Francisco Dates and details coming soon
- Jakarta Dates and details coming soon
- Boston Dates and details coming soon
- Mexico City Dates and details coming soon
- London UK Dates and details coming soon
- Amsterdam Dates and details coming soon
The next event is in Waterloo and is open to residents of Canada and the US. RIM is throwing a contest for the Waterloo event offering up 30 chances (+10 possible extra wildcard entries) that you have to enter to come to the event. Winners will also get a one night stay in a standard room on September 28th, 2011 at the Destination Inn in Waterloo and a BlackBerry gift pack. They will also be feeding the attendees with a approximate value of $1,000 for each prize.
