Launch of the Amsterdam Open Beacon Network

LAUNCH FOR THE AMSTERDAM OPEN BEACON NETWORK - SAVE THE DATE!

In co-operation with the City of Amsterdam the IoT Living Lab invites it's members to the launch of the Amsterdam Open Beacon Network an exciting new initiative to increase the number of beacons in the city which will add massive value to the IoT Living Lab. Thanks to the City we have already integrated 100 new beacons in our Open API, 100 more are coming soon and the network continues to expand throughout the cities 2700 bus and tram stops.

This launch is of particular interest to developers who wish to add hyper relevant content and proximity based interactive experiences in their apps and IoT projects.

Hosted by the City at DataLab Amsterdam the goal for this special meetup is to hear what your ideas, concepts and plans might be to use the expanding network . Think about what you could share with us and other developers for a few minutes on stage. There will also be opportunities to test the new Amsterdam Open Beacon Network API and the updated IoT Living Lab API and our new IoT Go App while enjoying a drink together to share ideas and exchange experiences in an open forum.
