MTA to Host Developer Conference in May
The New York City transit authority (MTA) will hold their first developer conference next month. Named the “MTA Unconference for Developers”, the event will take place in Manhattan on May 5, 2010, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Having worked at the Transit Museum as a kid, it would have been awesome to hold the event there although I know there isn’t a lot of technology available at that location.
The Chairman of the MTA Jay Walder will speak at the event along with execs from the NY Times and Google.
If you are interested in attending, the registration form is now live – it looks like you must be approved to attend. You need to apply by April 28th to be considered.
As I wrote in my previous posts about the MTA, it’s great to see them embracing technology. Last week they launched the first real-time API and a real-time bus tracker.
If you want to get involved with the developer community, the best place to start is the discussion group.
