Mall Of Asia

SM Mall of Asia is undeniably the Philippine’s top lifestyle mall-conveniently set in a sprawling commercial complex by the Manila Bay and the southernmost tip of EDSA, the arterial road that connects most of Metro Manila, it is equipped with world-class facilities and amenities, and is home to nearly a thousand retail, dining, leisure, and entertainment establishments that represent the best of local and international industries.The mall draws crowds from all over the region and the country not only with its topnotch mall features but also by hosting the season’s hottest events. Its spacious activity areas are the favorite venues for concerts, product launches, promotional events, and other performances that appeal to SM Mall of Asia’s wide range of shoppers.More than a retail wonderland by the Bay, SM Mall of Asia is also a first-rate tourist attraction. The mall responds to this distinction by providing excellent tourist-friendly services one won’t find anywhere else-all rendered with a smile and all the warmth of the world-famous Filipino hospitality.

Think global. Hack local. 48 hours straight.

From February 17 to 19, we will be building awesome Android apps. If you already have a great app concept, bring that idea with you to the event. Even better, bring along anything you have prepared ahead of time (sketches, designs, mockups, etc.) and use the time and information provided to develop your idea into a working application, then share it with the world. At the end of the event, we'll invite you to share your application with the group, or maybe upload a video for everyone to see.

What do participants need? Android developers and designers will be at the event to help you learn Android and write your application. Participants need to bring their own laptop and app ideas.

Who Are Invited? Architects. Developers. Designers. Testers. Anyone who would help out during the development process, really. Imagine an event where you could build an app from conceptualization to launch in 48 hours. Of course, it helps if you come prepared, armed with research and design, but we're open to first-timers.

We will be sending confirmation emails to attendees one week before the event.
