We are pleased to announce the first round of sponsors for Music Hack Day Sydney happening at the end of this month.
It’s the first showing in Oz for the global Music Hack Day, and a solid list of local and international sponsors have thrown their support behind the event, generously providing prizes, API access and support and sustenance to keep the hackers doing what they came for.
API Partners will have the opportunity to deliver 5-minute demonstrations to the group, which will consist of developers, UI/UX designers, hardware tinkerers and creatives from various fields. Some will have the opportunity to offer extended optional workshops to those looking at working with their product.
API partners include:
The Echo Nest
Rdio
Sonos
Rovi Corporation
Triple J
Musixmatch
OpenTok by TokBox
SoundCloud
7Digital
OpenEMI
Shoudio
Prizes are generously donated by the API partners and will be awarded for the best hacks featuring the API for each category.
In addition to API partners, Music Hack Day Sydney welcomes the official involvement of sponsors contributing to the overall prize pool, including Amazon Web Services, Otis Eyewear, ThoughtWorks and Github.
The good folks at Red Bull are lending us their epic crib for the weekend, the fridge is well stocked courtesy of Asahi and our friends at The Sound Alliance and EMI Australia will be sending in the pizza delivery person.
Music Hack Day is lovingly hosted by Filter Squad and is happening over the weekend of 28/29 April at Red Bull’s Australian headquarters in Alexandria, NSW.
There’s plenty of news still to come, so stay tuned -
