Botathon 1.0
Welcome to the first ever Botathon 1.0!
Bots have become the latest paradigm for content distribution and e-commerce on messaging platforms. Some say that bots are the new apps. The purpose of this two day Botathon , a hackathon for building bots, is to educate, inspire collaboration and team building, and to develop innovative use cases within a conversational interface.
We are very grateful to have partnered with LA’s BEST to help us organize this event at theImpact Hub located in the Arts District of Downtown LA.

-
Networking with like-minded individuals, passionate about conversational interfaces.
