Are you ready to bring your Tizen mobile app to life?
Tizen Project and BeMyApp are thrilled to bring you Tizen DevLab Series - Europe and US edition! We are traveling across the globe from Silicon Valley to the streets of London, and Paris for an all-day workshop to bring you up to speed with Tizen OS.

From novice to expert, programmers to innovators - this workshop is for you. Tizen and Samsung experts will help you one-on-one to bring your ideas to life and make your apps dreams a reality. Prizes and food on us!
