> Dear all
>  
> Thanks for supporting the inaugural Edinburgh Apps event.  This is something new for the Council and we appreciate your help.
>  
> The Icebreaker is taking place at Creative Exchange, 29 Constitution Street, Leith, EH67BS on 26th September. The event starts promptly at 7pm when you will hear some short talks from our challenge champions as well as being welcomed by the event sponsor, Claudette Jones.
>  
> There will be plenty of time after this to network with data owners, learn more about the challenges and sound out potential partners.
> If you’d like to take part in networking early, please join in at ConfBuzz where you can find like-minded people ahead of Thursday.
>  
> We are inviting teams to take part which can be made up of individual developers/designers/writers or a team from a small company.  We are keen to work together and learn more about sharing our data and finding great solutions to city challenges.   There are prizes for this event, and we would hope also to work with more than one team beyond the event to realise projects into reality.   We want to support new and growing businesses, and help Edinburgh be a leader in innovative solutions using technology.  
> 
> If you already think you have a project, we have an Ideas platform with HunchBuzz and welcome any you want to share for the challenges. This will be open post Icebreaker as well of course.
> 
> For those who can’t make it on Thursday please do follow us our Twitter account to find out what’s happening.
>  
> It would be most helpful if you could share this information through your networks. And I hope you might be able to attend on the 26th.
