Hosted By…
Cocoaheads operates in “Hosted By” mode – we visit app creators and Apple-related companies in Austria to further our education, network, and gain new perspectives on app development. Whether it’s specialized app developers like DefectRadar, startups like MySugr and ContextSDK, large development firms like Tailored Apps and All About Apps, or established players like Bikemap and MindNode – we visit them all and learn exciting insights about their developments.
What Happens at Cocoaheads?
The event is informal, but it generally follows this schedule:
- 18:30 – Guests mingle over drinks.
- 19:00 – We begin by introducing the hosts, who then deliver their presentation.
- Just before 19:30 – The main presentation concludes, followed by a Q&A session and possibly one or two 5‑minute lightning talks from the guests.
- 19:30 ish – The official program ends, and then we continue chatting over pizza & drinks.
How Can I Host?
Would you like to invite Vienna’s iOS/MacOS/TVOS/Apple Watch developer community? Whether you design apps, develop them, sponsor, or market them – we want to visit you! We handle the guest list and promote the event via Facebook and Meetup. All we need from you is:
- A space that can accommodate our 15–30 developers, complete with a projector or TV for presentations.
- A presentation (maximum 20 minutes) on a developer-relevant topic – not a typical product pitch, but perhaps a cool framework, an interesting bug you solved, unique code, or insights into your design decisions. The presentation can be informal and, if possible, in English, as we often have international guests.
- Optionally (but very welcome): a few beers/colas/Club Mate/whatever during the event and pizzas or similar after the event for a relaxed get-together.
That’s it: Cocoaheads is volunteer-run and free – there are no additional costs for you or your guests.
Why Host?
Cocoaheads offers the perfect opportunity to meet other developers, discuss challenges and solutions, showcase your company and product, receive free expert feedback, find partners, and most importantly, meet great people – all for the cost of a room plus a few drinks and pizzas.
