Interview with App’Olympics Berlin Organizer Mathias Fiedler (CTO, Artflakes) 

This weekend is blessed with two great hackathons. Apart from the PhotoHackDay, that TechBerlin reported on earlier, there is the BeMyApp Mobile App Olympics, a 48-hour hackathon and startup bootcamp that unites idea generators, designers and developers in their quest to create some kick ass products. The event will be taking place simutanously in seven cities around the world: San Francisco, New York, Dallas, London, Paris, Zurich and yes, good ol’ BERLIN! 

Don’t miss out on the opportunity to be part of such an extraordinary experience and come join other startup ethusiasts for a three day fun ride at Ahoy! Berlin.

The event will start on Friday at 7pm with people pitching their app ideas to fellow designers and developers. After teams have formed around the best ideas, there will be two days of straight hacking with all the clichés of little sleep and lots of Club Mate that go with it. On Sunday a prominent jury will vote for the best app idea and the winning teams await great prizes such as a trip to the Silicon Valley with accommodation covered. The event will finish in Ahoy! Berlin fashion with a wild party and our favorite DJ Daddy Hemingway spinning the tunes! 

There are still some spots left for developers as well as party tickets (includes the prize ceremony) for people who do not wish to go through the 48-hour craziness, but want to soak in the unique experience nevertheless. Check out the interview above for more information on what to expect.
