What you'll learn

How to support builders across your organization

Anyone can build now. We'll talk through what it looks like when the marketer, ops person, etc. ships the prototype.

Why a hackathon beats a training program for AI adoption

Get the framework you need to successfully run a hackathon: format, prep, and what makes it work or flop.

Real examples from the events we've run

Together, we've led hackathons for thousands. We'll share what non-technical people actually built and what stuck after.

Why this topic matters

Now that anyone can build with AI, the real question is how teams actually start using AI instead of just talking about it. Hackathons and buildathons are the fastest format to make that happen—the session will show real scenarios of non-technical people shipping working products.
