This is a [working] repo for an Alexa skill that allows you to search through meetup.com and find tech related events in your area.
I'm very active in the NYC tech scene and meetup.com is an excellent source to find events. Therefore I decided to create TechEvents. It's an Alexa skill that will allow users to search for tech related events in NYC on meetup.com.
I used the meetup.com API and built the Alexa skill in node.js
#Future of a Conversation, an Alexa Hackathon
"The Future Labs, a network of innovation spaces and programs supporting early stage startups in New York City, and Amazon will host the Future of a Conversation, an Alexa Hackathon. The Alexa and Echo hackathon will challenge participants to create voice-based user interfaces for Alexa, the software supporting Amazon’s Echo hardware. This is an opportunity to build a skill for Alexa that you would not only like to use, but believe could be a front-runner for this technology."
