Update Posted 10/23 : 

Greetings fellow IoT Hackday Members!

While we had the best of intentions and were hopeful that we could still hold this event virtually, it's with deep great regret that we are canceling the IoT Hackday 2020 - PROJECT TRACK. We will still be holding the LEARNING TRACK on using TensorFlow for image classification, and encourage all of you that were planning to build a project to instead join us tomorrow morning, Saturday, October 24th at 10:30 AM CDT!

To register and join us please visit:

We look forward to future hackathons in the areas of the Internet of Things and Applied AI / Machine Learning! In that spirit, please continue to join is at future Applied AI monthly meetups and events on the first Thursday of each month. Our next event is Thursday, Nov 5th. Details are at: https://www.meetup.com/applied_ai/events/271899826/

This is a hard decision for all of us and we appreciate your understanding. If we did an event, we wanted to make sure we could put it on and were able to meet the high standards from previous years. The IoT Hackday will be back in 2021, bigger and more beautiful than ever!
