June is an exciting month for us. We have all kinds of events scheduled including conferences, webcasts, and hackathons. Whether you’re looking for some new tips and tricks or just want to win something, we have an event for you!

One of the best ways to learn about cutting edge technologies and win new devices is to join our webcasts. We’re really excited about the upcoming Augmented Reality and You webcast as well as our Speech 101 webcast coming toward the end of June. These webcasts are hosted by industry professionals and provide in-depth information you likely won’t find anywhere else. As always, these events are completely free to AT&T Developer Program members; all you need to do is register.

Think you’ve made a smart app? Today is your last chance to optimize your app using the Application Resource Optimizer (ARO) and enter the Smarter App Challenge. In this mobile app challenge, the GSMA has partnered with AT&T and other carriers to offer a fantastic prize to three developers that make apps that aren’t just innovative, but efficient as well.

We’re incredibly excited to announce that we have nearly a dozen events and contests scheduled for the next two months! Everything from epic hackathons with over $20K in prizes to webcasts where we’ll walk you through using our new Speech API. We’ll also be attending several conferences including CTIA and Uplinq.

If you haven’t yet been to one of our hackathons, we really encourage you to check one out. They’re a great way to meet new people and learn about the latest cutting edge tools. Winning cash and prizes isn’t bad either!

The YP℠ Developer Program team is looking for amazing, new local-powered apps that make use of the Places API. 

They are so confident that you are going to blow their minds that they are going to make room in their booth at SXSW for the winning developer to show off their wares this March. And since getting there is half the fun, they’re going to pay for airfare and lodging and passes to the show and throw in cash to boot.

For full rules and guidelines, check out the YP Developer Challenge site.
