AMD Developer Hackathon: ACT III — Imperia
One hackathon. A global community. Two days of building together on the Ligurian coast.
Join the AMD Developer Hackathon: ACT III in Imperia and build AI agents, applications, and developer tools using AMD GPUs in the cloud and the ROCm open-source software stack.
What is AMD Developer Hackathon: ACT III?
It is a hands-on hackathon for people who want to explore what AI can do on real, high-performance infrastructure.
Your goal is to create a working, end-to-end product powered by AMD technology. That could be:
An AI agent or multi-agent workflow
A high-performance AI application
A model training or fine-tuning project
A tool for AI developers
An experiment benchmarking workloads on AMD GPUs
A solution ported or optimized for the ROCm ecosystem
Something entirely new
All development takes place on cloud-accessible AMD GPUs. There is no need to bring or own specialized hardware.
Detailed tracks and challenge requirements will be announced before the kickoff.
The Imperia experience
The on-site phase will be hosted at IMPERIAWARE, Imperia’s digital innovation hub and a space designed to support IT companies, startups, talent, and collaborative technology projects.
It is an opportunity to build in a more focused setting while still being part of an international online hackathon.
Expect:
Two days of hands-on development
Collaboration with other builders and teams
Mentoring and technical guidance
Opportunities to test and improve your project
Live project presentations
Networking with the technology community
A chance to compete for a share of the $5,000 prize pool
Who can participate?
The hackathon is open to:
Developers and AI engineers
Technical and non-technical founders
Students and aspiring builders
Product designers and domain experts joining technical teams
Teams experimenting with AI infrastructure
Anyone curious about AMD GPUs and ROCm
You do not need previous hackathon experience. Participants can build individually or form teams of up to six people.
