Originally started in Silicon Valley back in 2005, SuperHappyDevHouse is now here in Singapore!
SuperHappyDevHouse is the premier hackathon event from Silicon Valley that combines serious and not-so-serious productivity with a fun and exciting party atmosphere. SuperHappyDevHouse is a non-exclusive event intended for creative and curious people interested in technology.
The name conveys two ideas; first that this is a ‘Development House’ where technical developers will come together to build fun projects and presents them. Second is that it is a social event, fun to attend, and a great way to meet potential partners, new hires, or even just to make new friends. Read more
“Impactive Engagement” – that’s the theme of the upcoming New Media Asia Conference 2011 to be held in two weeks in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
“New Media is more than just stereotypically having a static presence on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and a website. It is all about interactions, and the impact it has on the people that the media touches. The conference aims to broaden the views and test new ideas and theories and attendees can put them to use immediately.
This is a 2-day conference on Social Media and the New Media. This includes the many facets of social networks, news portals, podcasts, etc.. We will be exploring the usefulness of social media, as well as the reach of new media.” Read more
