About this event

That’d be Anheuser-Busch. And they want to give up to 100 talented developers, designers, and entrepreneurs the chance to show off their skills at a 24-hour hackathon on May 16th and 17th in St. Louis, MO. Grand Prize winners will each get a ticket to BudLight's Up For Whatever epic weekend of unexpected fun in Catalina Island, California. Oh, and you must be 21 years of age or older to participate. Beer is involved, obviously.

Developers will be asked to build mobile applications that promote Anheuser-Busch’s core brand, Bud Light. Use AB data, external APIs, SDKs and other tools from today’s biggest innovators in technology to create a truly marvelous hack.
