Developers! Are you in need of something fun to do this weekend? Or do your existing plans pale in comparison to a two day TNW Hack Battle, hosted at AlleyNYC in New York? There’s still time to sign up!

For 36 hours, we’ll be bringing together an exclusive group of international coders, some of the world’s leading platforms and the expertise needed to build amazing hacks. If you’re already convinced, register here. Otherwise, take a quick peek at our API partners and venue, below.

Where you’ll be hacking

Thanks to AlleyNYC, this year’s hack battle is not just taking place in an office, but in “the most bad-ass community on the planet.” Centred in the heart of Manhattan, AlleyNYC has been rated as one of the top-five co-working spaces in NYC by CBS New York – making it the perfect venue for a hardcore hackathon.

What you’ll be hacking

This year’s partners include PayPal (which is set to split from eBay early-2015, creating interesting opportunities), Deezer and Spotify, the online music services, Sendgrid the cloud-based email delivery service, Sinch, the voice and messaging platform, and Intel Mashery, the world’s leading API management service – will be offering up their API network.
