Come learn how to integrate Azure services or add Monetization and Analytics into your products from Microsoft engineering teams in a two-day, split-track hack. 

At the event, you'll learn more about Vungle, the leading in-app video ad network that helps developers monetize their games. You'll also learn more about their exclusive $1,000 bonus incentive program they are opening up for this event!

We are excited to bring you two days of coding mixed with technical presentations!

The focus of the event will be twofold:

  1. The first focus is using Azure service from your enterprise apps.
  2. The Second focus area will be integrating Windows 10 middleware SDKs into your UWP app.

The agenda will include topics such as Azure overview, Azure Active Directory and Single-Sign-on, Enterprise Deployment, Telemetry, Notifications, and Middleware SDK integration. To that end, we have invited some third-party developers who specialize in monetization and analytics to highlight their latest Windows 10 related SDKs and how to integrate their services into UWP apps.

Agenda:

January 19, 2016: On day one we will meet as a single group, covering shared topics

January 20, 2016: On day two we will split into tracks covering more specific topics. You will be allowed to select topics from either track to attend and learn.

 

As with all our hack events, the experts will present then provide time for a hands-on lab, allowing you to spend time learning more. Below you will find important information regarding this hack event, including location and the check-in process.

Incentives will be awarded after 3 months of App/Game go-live.

Integrate the Vungle SDK to a Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app and publish that app to the Windows Store. Once your app starts to generate $50 or more ad revenue through Vungle, you will receive a one-time $1,000 integration bonus and a 10% cash bonus on all publisher earnings in the app for three months from the date the app was set live in the Vungle Dashboard. This offer available for a limited time.

*Only registered Windows Dev Center publishers qualify. Publishers must integrate the Vungle SDK to a UWP application, accept the Vungle SDK License Agreement terms, set the APP(s) to “Live” in the Vungle dashboard and publish it to the Windows Store with 3 weeks of attending this event. The three (3) months term (the “Term”) to receive the bonuses begins on the day the publisher sets the APP(s) to “Live” on the Vungle dashboard and serves Vungle. Limit 1 offer per developer.

PRIORITY VIDEO AD PROVIDER STATUS (PVAPS): This offer is contingent on Vungle having PVAPS (or exclusivity) in each App during the Term. PVAPS is defined as the first Video Ad Request or Ad Request that is available from the Publisher. Only in the event that Vungle cannot fill an Ad Request can another video provider provide video inventory to the Publisher.
• Video Ad Requests or Ad Requests is defined as instances whereby a Vungle video successfully starts playing on a user’s device as determined by the Vungle ad server.
• If during any portion of the Term, Publisher doesn’t provide Vungle with PVAPS, then the offer is null and void.
