Why this topic matters

Hackathons are a fast, fun way to get your team using AI. They create space for experimentation, spark real adoption, and give your team shippable wins in just one day. Clay runs hackathons with customers to create real workflows in a day—and I’ve been running marketing hackathons since my Asana days 10 years ago. I’ll show you how to run them for your team.
