We are calling on the tech community to unite with Mutual Mobile to develop an intelligent way to detect the risk of exposure to the coronavirus.

South By Southwest is NO LONGER going ahead as planned due to a global coronavirus outbreak. We can help ensure our local Austinite’s and our out-of-town visitors stay informed and safe. Capital Factory and Mutual Mobile have partnered to join forces in the quest to solve this wicked problem.

Join us March 7-8 to hack detection solutions to evaluate the risk of potential exposure to the coronavirus.

The doors of Mutual Mobile will be wide open Saturday and Sunday. Teams will have full access of our meeting spaces, break-out areas and the all important kitchen stocked full of yummy, healthy snacks.

We’re calling on the community to help us by donating catering for our hard working teams. We’re also asking for temporary licenses of software solutions that could potentially help us build smart, intelligent systems to create prediction models.

We hope to see members of the local health department and academic institutions donate their time to help inform our teams of the critical infrastructure information to design informed solutions.

Our goal is to identify a winning solution that can be used during SXSW by attendees. Austin has always been a place to gather and feel connected. The winning solution should evoke a sense of informed safety.

Participation is free. You can come with a team or we’ll help you find a team that compliments your skillset.

Let’s do this!
