Over the Air is an annual mobile technology-focused overnight hack day event held in London since 2008. It developed from previous hack day events in 2007 and 2008. The 2011 version of Over the Air was part of the 2011 London Mobile Week.[1][2]

The 2008, 2009 and 2010 events were held at Imperial College in South Kensington.[3][4][5][6] The 2011 version was held at Bletchley Park.[7]

The ethos of Over the Air is simple[8] – a 2 day event, including practical and educational talks and a hacking competition. Sponsors of the event have included the BBC,[4] Bluevia, [9] Nokia,[10] Paypal,[11] and Vodafone.[12] Some of the ideas developed at Over the Air have been turned into commercial services.[7]
