Over the Air is an annual 2-day mobile developer event with a mix of technical workshops put on by the community, a Hackathon to celebrate programming & making as a creative discipline, and Lightning Talks to entertain and inspire. Now in it’s 9th year, the 2016 edition will take place on the 25th & 26th of November, at St. John’s […]

The Workshop Submission Form is Now Open! Over the Air is a unique tech-agnostic event for and by the developer community, featuring technical workshops where attendees can roll up their sleeves and tinker with new development platforms, operating systems, APIs, SDKs, hardware and devices. Although it’s mostly about software development and hardware hacking, you don’t need […]

Hackathon

A major part of Over the Air is the Hackathon – which starts at the end of the Friday morning Keynote, and continues through the day and overnight until it is time for the Show & Tell on Saturday afternoon. We invite participants to be creative, without any pressure for their ideas to be commercially viable […]

Lightning Talks

On Friday evening, we invite everyone to gather together in one of the Marquees for a series of Lightning Talks, given by members of the community. In 2015 we were thrilled to welcome Melinda Seckington (an OTA regular) on the team to run that side of the event, updating our format away from the more rigid Ignite Talk format, towards a […]

Schedule

The two-day programme always opens with a Keynote talk for all participants in the Main Hall, after which the Hackathon and Workshop Programme officially start. Our Keynote Speakers in past years have included Sir. Tim Berners-Lee, Matthew Postgate, Dr. Sue Black, Ariel Waldman, and Howard Baker – ‘Godfather’ of the BBC Micro:bit. Four streams of workshops take place throughout […]

As more and more companies become aware of the issues of diversity of representation within the technology industry, we occasionally get asked where we stand on this issue as Event organisers.
