Dear fellow App Contest Organizer,

Just a quick reminder to join us at OK Festival in Helsinki, on Thursday 20th September, at 11:30 - 13:00 for our App Contests Organizer Meetup. Registration: http://apps4europe.eventbrite.com. 

Please forward the invitation to your app contest network and invite them to join us as well.

By now we've seen many app contests, in many forms, all around Europe. In a way, this continuous sprawl is a success in itself. However, there is a demand and a need to learn from each other and design our the next steps. This session will bring together seasoned and aspiring app contest organisers, and provide an open space to discuss questions like:

- what have we learned, liked and disliked in our contests? 
- what ingredients make an app contest successful?
- what can be done to create sustainable impact?
- (how) can we combine our efforts to achieve better results?

We hope to see you in Helsinki!

Frank Kresin, research director Waag Society
Ivonne Jansen-Dings, project manager Open Data, Waag Society

The location of this meetup is at Kääntöpaikka, a 5 minute walk from the main OK Festival venue.
