iBeacon Living Lab plans 2016 - The EU Presidency IoT Challenge

Since our last Meetup we have expanded the iBeacon Mile to include key intersections in the city center installing beacons in over 60 additional bus and tram stops in time for the Museumnacht Hackathon thanks to our partners at Appsterdam, iAmsterdam, JC Decaux and the City, of course. We will look at what the iBeacon Living Lab has accomplished this year and have presentations and an open discussion about what we want to accomplish in 2016. We will introduce our steering committee; we will showcase the winners of the Museumnacht Hackathon who will pitch their awesome IoT and beacon enabled apps; talk about the ODinE grant and how to grow the iBeacon Living Lab program beyond Amsterdam and throughout Europe; and much, much more. So many developments to share and discuss with our members this is a Meetup not to be missed!
