Build & Connect: AI-Ready Teams HackNight
An Interactive Workshop Built for Forward-Thinking Operators
Join a fast-paced, hands-on AI HackNight built specifically for highly skilled operators and innovation leaders working inside fast-moving companies who want to stay ahead of the AI curve.
This isn’t a panel or a keynote. You’ll build with today’s most powerful tools-then walk away with real workflows, prototypes, and a clear playbook to bring AI into your operations, systems, and daily decision-making.
Build & Connect events are designed to help you build with purpose-and connect with other forward-thinking leaders who are shaping the future of AI-powered work. Whether you’re prototyping your first AI agent or refining a GenAI-enabled workflow, you’ll do it alongside peers facing the same challenges.
What past participants say:
"Excellent session! Lots of new and very useful information that will allow me to streamline daily processes."
"A great hands-on experience. I learned some new and very useful things."
"Very informative and always learning new things in your events."
"Amazing. Learned a lot and connected well."
How It Works
You’ll choose one of four expert-led breakout groups, each focused on a core AI capability. Within your group, you’ll work on your own challenge or idea while receiving targeted support, peer collaboration, and live guidance from a mentor.
Whether you want to automate internal workflows, prototype AI-native features, explore agentic architectures, or accelerate decision-making, you’ll leave with:
A working AI solution or prototype
Practical experience with top tools like Base44, n8n, Cursor, LangChain, Claude, and more
A modern AI stack you can bring back to your org
Peer connections with other operators building in public
What You’ll Learn
How to apply GenAI to real operational challenges
When to use Base44, LangChain, n8n, or simpler APIs
What agentic and automated workflows look like in action
How forward-thinking teams are embedding AI across business functions
