The marvelous devices we carry in our pockets and bags are changing how we enjoy media, absorb information, and interact with the world. Mobile phones and tablets have not only transformed how we engage with visual images, but also how those experiences are created. Today’s apps are often developed by individuals or small teams, and Appy Hour is a celebration of those developers’ hard work.

Appy Hour is a techno-social event showcasing innovation by those small teams. Come enjoy a libation, interact with the developers, and experience the next generation of mobile media.
