T-Mobile in partnership with Microsoft is hosting a “Closer to the Customer” hackathon at The Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, GA. March 29-30, 2019. We invite fresh and seasoned developers alike to join us to invent the future of AI & ML, while mingling with our technologists, product folks and talent scouts.

Whether you’re into business, data, or design, we want you to come learn something new, and lend your own creative energy to making amazing things. At the end of the day, the ideas that change what we see tomorrow come from all of us. Use your smarts, creativity and innovation to come up with a demo or app to demonstrate your vision for what these technologies can do. The opportunities to transform the way we interact with our customers are limited only by your imagination.
