The RDK Tech Summit is back,
introducing the 2020 Virtual Hackathon!

Over the past few years, the Tech Summit has evolved into a community initiative which has become an important driver for RDK innovation.

Our primary goal is to Collaborate, Differentiate & Innovate together as an open community.

Our three day Tech Summit includes:

~  Industry leaders discussing a deep dive into RDK Roadmaps, new features and profiles ~

~  Operators sharing their hands-on experiences with the wider community ~

~  Hear the latest trends and insights from our panel of experts ~

~ Live Q&A sessions with our speakers ~

~  Presentations of final solutions by our Hackathon teams ~

~ You may attend the Tech Summit without participating in the Hackathon  ~

Hackathon Details and Topics:

The Virtual Hackathon will offer four exciting topics, each led by an industry expert mentor and an RDK Engineering team lead.

There is no charge to participate, but your company must be an RDK Licensee,
and you must be available for training and team meetings.

Hackathon participants will have 2-3 hours per week of customized webinars, training
and team meetings beginning the first week of October.

The 6-week Hackathon culminates in our 3 day Tech Summit, November 17 – 19 from 9:00 AM  to 11:30 AM EST each day,
where teams will present their final solutions to the community.
