For the fifth consecutive year, WebGeek will host its annual hackathon, DevCup, onAugust 20-21, 2016 at the Meralco Multi-purpose Hall in Ortigas.

DevCup aims to gather amazing developers, designers, and technology professionals to create innovative apps. It also wishes to showcase the Philippine developer talent. Participants are provided with a theme in which they must develop their app. They are given two days to complete their app. The said app is to be presented to the judges.

Last year, 70 teams battled it out for the DevCup championship title. Out of the 70 registered teams, 60 apps were presented at the end of the event. Then, the judges now choose the winners.
