Hack the North
Ready to create an experience with indoor mapping technology? We're thrilled to be sponsoring Hack the North 2025 - Canada's biggest 24-hour hackathon that pushes the boundaries of innovation and creativity. We specialize in transforming the way venues are experienced, managed, and understood, enabling people with advanced mapping tools to make indoor navigation and exploration seamless and intuitive. This is an amazing opportunity to access Mappedin Pro and our latest SDK with advanced features. Unleash your creativity and collaboration to create something truly remarkable! ✨
