Startup Weekend Montreal and API Hackday NYC! Can I get a WOOP WOOP?

by Sarah-Jane on January 17, 2012

The first weekend in February promises to be super cool for Context.IO… and not just because we’re in the heart of winter here in Montreal.

February 3rd – 5th is the first ever Startup Weekend Montreal! We’re so excited to finally see this epic, 54-hour event come to Montreal, and to help get our developer community excited about this event, we’re happy to announce that we’ll be giving away 3 free developer tickets (worth $75 each) to be chosen at random. So, buy your tickets now developers, and you may be reimbursed on us! We’re still running our global Startup Weekend Contest – have an idea for an app built on email? We’ll be happy to pay for your ticket (above and beyond the 3 random tickets we’re already sponsoring) if we like your idea. Read all about it here!

We’re also thrilled to announce that we’ll be participating on our first-ever NYC event on the very same weekend… on Feb 4th, the NYC API Hackday is happening alongside Sendgrid, Mashery, Twilio, Tumblr and Spotify at the Mashery Headquarters in SoHo! If you’re in NYC, come on down… it’s free, and it’ll be awesome!

May be used to blackmail you to build something on email

I’ll be there in person to help you get started on our API and to provide motivation in the form of colourful stickers, candies and smiles. I wonder if they’ll let me bring puppies?

I’ll be spending the week in NYC, so if you’re local, get in touch at sarah-jane @ context.io! :)

While we’re making the best of winter on the east coast, our Founder Bruno will be back in somewhat warmer San Francisco later this month. Want to connect? Get in touch!

PS. Don’t think I haven’t noticed how often I reference Jay-Z lyrics in our blog post titles.
