We’re less than two months away from the start of the inaugural INTX 2015, May 5 – 7 in Chicago. With hotels filling up, registrations rolling in, and our first announcement of session speakers, we thought it was a great time to round up several announcements and deadlines to keep in mind.
Speakers Joining INTX
We’ve confirmed several speakers for INTX sessions. Highlights include Nancy Dubuc, President & CEO, A+E Networks, Brian Roberts, Chairman & CEO, Comcast and Kerry Trainor, CEO of Vimeo. You can see the full list here and check back often as the list grows.
INTXHACK
INTXHACK is a 24-hour developer challenge where technologists, developers and designers from across the industry will compete in an epic battle to create new, innovative ways to produce, present and experience TV, movies, games and other digital entertainment. The Hack takes place May 2-3 at tech incubator 1871, with the top six teams advancing to the live stage in Imagine Park on Wednesday, May 6. We are now accepting hacker applications and looking for companies to participate as partners. Learn more about the hack at the INTXHACK website.
INTX Intersections
INTX Intersections are a brand new way to showcase your brand this year, located at the intersections and corners throughout the INTX Marketplace. Several companies have already signed on to participate but there’s still room for more! Intersections will be themed: TV Everywhere, Streaming Media, Internet of Things, Gaming, and Navigation and will be a really unique experience for INTX attendees to engage with the featured companies and brands.
Book your Hotel
INTX hotels in downtown Chicago are filling up fast. Plus, if you reserve your hotel room in an official INTX hotel by April 3, you are automatically entered for a chance to win 100,000 travel points thanks to our “Book. Stay. Get Away.” promotion. Check out our infographic below to see exactly which hotels are still available.
