Along with the company's sponsorship, iCIMS' Director of Research and Development, Sandeep Chand, will deliver a presentation on the future technology of talent acquisition including big data, video resumes, and the influence of mobile capabilities and social networks.

"Hackathons are a valuable platform for the cross-fertilization of ideas in the local tech community," said Chand, "Sponsoring Hacking Asbury allows iCIMS to be part of the conversation and connect with the best and brightest in the local tech community. Our sponsorship in this event not only gives us a great opportunity to collaborate with others passionate about technology, it also allows us to connect with the local talent. iCIMS puts a lot of value in recruiting those who work, live, and go to school in New Jersey so events like this offer a great recruiting opportunity for us."

The full-day event will feature a variety of speakers from the developer community. During "office hours," tech experts will be available to discuss real-world topics in areas such as databases, user research, UX, and app testing. Then the "hack-and-tell" lunch opens up the floor for all hackers to discuss current projects they are working on and get feedback from fellow techies. Later, everyone is invited to power down with a delectable BBQ out on the deck of Cowerks for some fresh air, good eats, cold brews, and great views.

"It's more than a conference and more than a 'hackathon,' it's a community event," said Bret Morgan, co-organizer of Hacking Asbury and co-founder of Cowerks, "Throw in some food and beer and it's pretty much a summer BBQ for all hackers, builders, and entrepreneurs."

If you want to get an early start, Hacking Asbury kicks off with a special Jersey Shore Tech meet-up and kick-off event at Cowerks at 7:00 P.M. on Friday night, June 21st. If you'd like to attend Hacking Asbury go to hackingasbury.com.
