thethings.iO at October 2015

October means lots of things: it represents the definitive goodbye to the summer, the celebration of the Oktoberfest in Munich, or the arrival of a new season in the technological field. More events, more posts, more work… more thethings.iO!

So what’s this October bringing to us?

First of all, we want to express our sadness about the cancellation of the Solidcon Europe, organized by O’Reilly, which was expected to take place in Amsterdam on October 28th, and of which we were sponsors.

Hackathon 'Todos Incluidos'

Hackathon ‘Todos Incluidos’

But October is a long month, so we have other events to attend!
The first one is this weekend (Oct. 3-4th) and takes place in Granada. Fundación Telefónica and Telefonica I+D organizes the Hackathon ‘Todos Incluidos’ in collaboration with Girls in Tech. The event starts this weekend, but there’ll be two more collaborative meetings during this month. The second one will be in Barcelona (Oct. 17-18th), and the last one in Madrid (Oct. 24-25th).
The Hackaton is organized in order to promote the teamwork, as well as the gender diversity in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) environments, where women are the minority. That’s why the event will be formed 50% men and 50% women.

Next October 6th, our CEO Marc Pous is attending the Blockchain Week in Barcelona. Marc Pous will moderate the “Panel: is blockchain the key to the Internet of Things?”, at 12pm. Pous will share scenario with Sandra Fernández (Telefónica), Anthony o’Dowd (IBM), Niko Punin (Bitfury) and Meinhard Benn (Satoshipay).

Marc Pous will also attend the IoT Shifts Conference as a speaker. The event will take place in Barcelona the next Oct. 19-20th. The conference will include sessions on Retail, Health & Fitness, Gaming, Smart Home, Energy, Smart City, etc. With a lot of international speakers, the event is such a great opportunity for corporations, SMBs and startups and entrepreneurs.

Finally, the Creator Space BCN Creatathon organized by BASF and Imagine Creative Center will take place in the Disseny Hub Barcelona the next Oct. 28th. Teams, formed by 3 people, will work for 24h to generate original solutions to solve problems that affect to our environment. There, thethings.iO’s CEO Marc Pous will teach a magistral class about Internet of Things.

Jam Packed Week at thethings.iO

Last week was an interesting one here in Barcelona.

We started with the Internet of Things Barcelona meetup, which was one of the biggest, with over 85 attendants at the venue. Some of the discussions included Jiri of Claro Partners, Telefonica presenting their Thinking Things, Alicia Asín introducing Libelium and Adam Dunkels showcasing his Thingsquare last novelty (in a live demo). It was also awesome to meet Hugo Fiennes from Electric Imp and hear some of his experiences on the Internet of Things field.

On Tuesday Marc went to the radio, he went to RAC1 to talk about the Internet of Things. Checkout the podcast

On Friday Marc was invited to the IoT tapas organized by Claro Partners. It was one of the best brainstorms related to the Internet of Things we’ve ever attended. We have continued the development of our beta website and look forward on showing it off soon enough.
