For the second time this year, VRdirect is hosting a virtual hackathon together with TechCrunch for the creation of interactive VR experiences. It will take place prior to the TechCrunch Disrupt Berlin 2018 and is sponsored by KPMG.
Inspired by the big dreams in life, this time’s hackathon theme is “Never been there, never done that”.
Think about the things you’ve always wanted to experience but haven’t had the chance yet or places you wish to visit some day – and create them virtually. The only limit is your imagination!

amongst all participants, we give out 30 free tickets for the TechCrunch Disrupt Conference, taking place on November 29th and 30th in Berlin.
