What’s the most kick ass technology you’ve always wished for at music festivals? What would you create if the sky was your limit? Here’s your chance! Use AWS technology to create an experience that is desperately needed or would greatly enhance the fan experience at an EDC festival. It can be anything from getting more information on the events and activities at the festival to using a virtual assistant to direct you to the nearest bathroom with the shortest line. Anything you can dream of for a festival, make it.
