Kicking Off Boston Tech Week with a full day! and a Hack!

Some people play golf. Others do hackathons.

This is your invitation to kick off Boston Tech Week the right way: with Boston’s premier hackathon. Whether you’re a founder, builder, engineer, or die-hard sports fanatic, this is your chance to spend the morning building something real, meeting ambitious people, and competing for prizes — instead of just another 18 holes and a BBQ.

We’re merging two high-energy events into one unforgettable morning sprint. Expect a curated room of top developers, sports industry talent, and ambitious founders ready to create, collaborate, and compete. Food, drinks, serious energy, and even stronger company are all included.

Event Agenda – Tuesday, May 26th Boston, MA

Kick things off with coffee, tea, and light refreshments while you connect with fellow builders and sports-tech enthusiasts.

10:30 AM – 12:00 PM – Guest Lecture with Antonio Mele

Join Antonio Mele from the London School of Economics for an inspiring and insightful lecture packed with ideas that will fuel your hackathon session.

Casual lunch break to refuel and keep the conversations going.

12:30 PM – 2:30 PM – Hackathon Sprint

: Form teams (or go solo) and concept your sports-tech project.

: Full sprint mode — build fast in hackathon style while enjoying a series of quick-fire lectures from industry experts (Cursor running the whole time).

All projects are automatically scored by AI so the strongest ideas rise to the top.

3:00 PM – 3:30 PM – Top 10 Presentations

The top 10 AI-scored projects each get 3 minutes on stage to pitch their work live to the judges and the room.

3:30 PM – 4:00 PM – Judges’ Analysis
