On Thursday, March 29/Friday, March 30, , Synacor is sponsoring The Spring Collab Hackathon at Hotel Henry and will be joined by the University at Buffalo’s Society of Women Engineers.
The free 24-hour tech event is a great opportunity for developers, designers, and creative thinkers to pal around with others in the tech industry. At the same time, attendees don’t need much experience in coding – all skill levels are invited to participate in the networking/hackathon gathering.
For those who are looking to geek out a bit, there will be a tutorial of the new Zimbra code, as well as some “healthy competition” throughout the event.
