HackREGINA is the 2012 Regina-based edition of HackDays, the one-day API programming hackathon events that take place across Canada.

For one day, teams of 1 - 3 developers work on integrating with one or more of the sponsors APIs. Judges from the local tech community judge based on awesomeness and technical difficulty, and we award fantastic prizes including a MacBook Air, iPads, e-readers and more.

The event starts with a mixer on Friday night so people can find development partners and meet everyone else, and then all participants have one day on Saturday to code their entire application. They'll keep you fed and pour you a beer at  the end of the day, and then the presentations and judging occur.

Look Before You Leap: Using Intelligence to Guide Commercialization Strategy

What value does your technology-based product or service offer to your target customer base? How will the current market landscape affect your launch and longevity? Divyesh Patel and Jim George of SpringBoard West Innovations will explore these questions and discuss proven methods and techniques to help guide and develop your marketing strategy.

Technology clearance is essential when developing, acquiring or commercializing technologies, as intellectual property can create landmines for the unwary or unprepared. Cory Furman and Robert Hendry of MacPherson Leslie & Tyerman will discuss the ways in which IP legal services can assist you with front-end due diligence as part of your commercialization strategy.
