Hi everyone,

Are you eager to meet real people with the same interests as you again? Later this week, you have an opportunity to do so. Apparat, a local consultancy specializing in media and IT, is hosting Apparatconf. It's a two-day evening conference from 3 PM to 9 PM each day.

Wednesday 10 November will focus on media and media productions, while Thursday 11 November will be all about development. **On Thursday, two of The Things Network Bergen member will do a presentation each:**

- **At 17:00, Ricco Førgaard will demonstrate how you can take charge of your IoT fleet using balena.**
- **At 20:00, Ketil Moland Olsen will explain why Raspberry Pi-based flight tracking can be useful, fun, and profitable.**

You will also learn more about retro-programming on Commodore64, a journey from MySQL to NoSQL, a smart office app, and the inspiring story about FotMob: A hobby turned into a full-time venture.

**The best part**: Both days are entirely free to attend, and you are all invited.

Hope to see many of you on Thursday!

Kind regards,
Ketil
