The Builder Base: Buildathon

Whether you're experimenting with an AI agent, launching a developer tool, creating an enterprise workflow, building a data product, automating a painful process, or working on something completely unconventional, this is your base for the day. Come with an idea, a problem, a technology you want to explore — or nothing more than the desire to build. Find teammates, get feedback from experienced builders, learn from industry experts, and ship something you're proud of.

Anything worth building. Build an AI application, autonomous agent, developer tool, enterprise workflow, data platform, automation system, productivity tool, consumer product, infrastructure project, or an idea nobody has tried before. There are no prescribed problem statements and no requirement to build around a particular technology. Find a problem. Build the solution. Ship it. You can arrive with a fully formed idea or figure it out once you get there. The goal is to spend the day building, experimenting, learning, and turning an idea into something real. Who Should Join? The Builder Base is for people who make things. Whether you're an experienced software engineer, an AI developer exploring agentic systems, a founder testing a new idea, a product manager turning a concept into a prototype, a designer bringing an experience to life, or a student and early-career developer looking for your next challenge — you're welcome. You don't need to be an expert. You just need to be ready to build. Come with an idea. Leave with a build.
