HackTO is a gathering of the very best of Toronto’s technology folks, coming together for one day of mad coding.

The idea behind HackTO is to round up various public APIs from local tech startups and make them available to local developers. Working in teams or solo–and with expert guidance from our API sponsors–developers compete to create the coolest application using one or more of the available APIs. And just to make things interesting, this is all done in a few hours!

You can find out more about HackTO on their site, http://www.hackto.ca/ or go register here: http://guestlistapp.com/events/27444

Also, they are looking for local API’s to use at the event so it you know of any, drop them a line or comment here.
