At XO, we throw a biannual hackathon.

It’s a company-wide, two-day event where co workers cross team and even state lines get together to design, prototype, and hack a solution together.

iPhone app that shows you a map of the conference rooms and phone booths at XO that displays their availability, some room specs (capacity, old name, available tech, floor) and let the user check in and check out.

Maybe folks will stop having 1:1's in 10 person conference rooms. Just saying 😎.

“Alexa, add Brooklyn Slate Round Cheese Board to wedding registry”…👀Presentations

You’ve got 90 seconds…Go! But first, lunch time! ( Tilt your phone 😉 )
