There is just over a week to go until the official start online of the latest in our series of THack events for developers – this time taking place in Sydney, Australia!

We’ve seen what developers can do in London, Las Vegas, Singapore, San Francisco and Boston – now it’s time to see what their Australian counterparts can muster.

What can a single developer pull together with a handful of APIs, a creative mind and a touch of tongue-in-check? Yes, it’s the Traveling Gnome (not the roaming kind!).

More creativity and masses of hard work from developers as a teams from Skyscanner and Flocations brought a new idea to planning business trips and also capturing the best travel reviews.

Online gaming and cruise trips – you couldn’t make it up?! Well, a team at Embark.at did for its entry in the recent THack @ SFO in San Francisco.

The winning product in the category for three developers or more at THack @ SFO last week came via Amadeus, using a dizzying array of APIs to create TVote.

Another hack from the recent THack @ SFO event in San Francisco, this time featuring the product created by a development team from Travelport.

Foodies or wine lovers will often design their latest jaunt based specifically on the best spots to eat and drink – but few travel sites reverse engineer the search process.

One of the participants at last week’s THack @ SFO was DataArt, pulling together APIs from Vayant, Travelport and LocalGuiding to create BendMyTrip.

Banish how it used to be carried out – travel inspiration and searching for products has changed immeasurably as consumers find new ways of finding the perfect trip.

Do you understand the true costs of travel payments, how to reduce your exposure to credit card fraud and surcharges or how virtual cards work?

Discussing recent hot topics such as the TripAdvisor-Jetsetter acquisition, hotel wifi, Wordpress and hotels, mobile design and user experience.

Ancillary services are here to stay, so how do travel companies and airlines develop their technology and relationships so that merchandising can work for everyone?
