Over the Air was an annual mobile technology-focused overnight hack day event held in London from 2008 to 2016. [1] The two-day event would include practical and educational talks and a hacking competition. [2] Sponsors of the event have included the BBC, [3] Bluevia, [4] Nokia, [5] PayPal, [6] and Vodafone. [7] Some of the ideas developed at Over the Air have been turned into commercial services. [8]
Over the Air developed from previous hack day events in 2007 and 2008.
From 2008 to 2010, the event was held at Imperial College in South Kensington. [9] [3] [10] [11] The 2011 version of Over the Air was part of the 2011 London Mobile Week. [12] [13] From 2011 to 2013, it was held at Bletchley Park. [8] There was no Over the Air event in 2014.
In 2015, the event was held at St John the Baptist, Hoxton; on 25 and 26 September. It featured one of the first workshop sessions [14] for the Micro Bit; along with the usual hackathon and lightning talks. The 8th (and final) event was also St. John's, on 25 and 26 November 2016.
