48Hour Launch boosts tourism

Software developers will gather in Chattanooga on March 30 and spend their weekend launching applications promoting Chattanooga tourism, The Company Lab said Tuesday.

The top application to come out of the 48Hour Launch event will receive $500 from the partnering Chattanooga Convention and Visitor's Bureau, and a service package from area businesses worth between $10,000 and $15,000.

"If you have talent, come and give it to one of these teams," said Enoch Elwell with Company Lab. "If you have an idea, come and bring it and get it off the ground."
