The hackathon, which will kick off Oct 16 at 10am, will take place at Shangri-La’s Rasa Sentosa Resort & Spa, Siloso 4 and has confirmed Expedia as the latest sponsor.

THack@WIT, a partnership between Tnooz and WIT, is being sponsored by Abacus as the exclusive GDS and Expedia.

To date, developers will be able to work on open APIs provided by Abacus,Everbread, Expedia Affiliate Network, Wego and AddToTrip. Others are expected to be added in the coming weeks.

“We decided to choose a venue that would inspire rather than leave these poor developers locked in a box,” said Yeoh Siew Hoon, editor and founder of WIT. “This way, they can take in the sea breeze anytime they want – after all, it’s the tropics here – and we look forward to some great ideas coming out of this collaboration with Tnooz.”

Tnooz editor and co-founder Kevin May added: “We are firm believers that collaboration, sharing of expertise and development tricks, as well as having access to some of the best sets of data the industry can offer, can lead to some wonderfully creative ideas, especially in the pressure cooker atmosphere of a hack event.”

The event is FREE for developers to attend and participate. Contact Kevin May.
