What is Mobilize?

Local ad agency 22squared is hosting a mobile-themed hackathon benefiting Atlanta nonprofit organizations. We’re recruiting developers, UX specialists, designers, creatives and social media experts to create mobile solutions for midsize, Atlanta-based nonprofits. You’ll get to mingle with reps from Google, Microsoft, Georgia Tech and Coca-Cola, who will judge submissions and award prizes to the winners. The winning team will receive graphic design and PR support from 22squared for their mobile solution.
