AI Build Blitz
AI Build Blitz is an event designed for anyone to rapidly prototype, showcase their creations, connect with the community, and spark new collaborations.
Event Overview During the Night
⚡️ The Build Sprint (60 mins starting at 6:30 pm): The clock starts. You have one hour to build, hack, or prototype an AI project. Work solo or team up on the spot. It’s not about a finished product—it’s about rapid execution and bringing an idea to life.
🎤 Pitch & Showcase (~30 mins starting at 7:30 pm): Laptops down, mics up. Builders will give rapid-fire demos (~2 mins) of what they created in the last hour. It’s not about perfection—it’s about demonstrating progress, sharing the process, and getting instant feedback.
🤝 Find Your People: The rest is open networking. Get a closer look at the projects, find collaborators for your next build, and connect with fellow innovators. Great food, great drinks, and better convos. You’ll leave with at least one new collaborator, idea, insight or friendship—guaranteed.
