We’re participating in IoT World in a big way. Here are a few of the events we’d love to see you at:
May 11 - SmartThings workshop at WeWork: We will have an introduction to SmartThings, a hands-on workshop that focuses on how you can automate your home with code, and a networking hour with refreshments. You don’t need an IoT World badge to attend. Please RSVP here: http://smartthingsiotworld.splashthat.com/
May 12-13 - IoT World Hackathon: We’re going to be at the hacakathon all day Tuesday and Wednesday. We are part of the “IoT Consumer Prize”. You can read more here: http://iotworldevent.com/hackathon/
We’re also going to have a demo booth on the show floor.
We hope to see you there!

So this is definitely “introductory level”, right? No use attending if we’re already rather familiar with the system and have created or at least edited a SmartApp or Device Type?
Though, … would it be helpful if some of us volunteered to coach or something?
Hey @tgauchat, it sounds like teams will be formed on the spot Tuesday morning. The schedule says:
9:00 AM: Lightening Talks, App Idea Pitches & Team Formation
I encourage you to sign up, it could be a lot of fun. Having a SmartThings expert in the crowd would be amazing.

Guess that must be an interesting process … great way to meet people!
Any other San Francisco area SmartThings Community folks planning to attend? Maybe we can gain a bit of an advantage by being on the same team … or have fun competing too; either way, right?

Well… that’s a high expectation for a Hackathon virgin!!!
I’ve got some ideas, but no idea how teams get together and agree on what the scope and components will be. Somehow, I think “getting it built” will be the easy part.
So far … no connections. They just opened the “Networking” website and I haven’t found any SmartThings talents listed in the Attendee Profiles (but profile search is pretty bad; only searches name, company, title … not description). http://networking.iotworldevent.com/
