LOVABLE × FOOD & BEVERAGE: FRIENDSGIVING 2026
A Human Bloom Collective Buildathon
Build something worth bringing to the table. Then gather around it.
Saturday, November 14, 2026
3:00 PM–9:00 PM | Chicago
Open to all experience levels • Ages 21+ • No coding experience required
This November, Human Bloom Collective brings people together for a Friendsgiving-inspired buildathon powered by Lovable.
The challenge:
What could you build to make the way we eat, drink, gather, host, share, celebrate, or care for one another better?
Maybe it’s a tool for planning the perfect Friendsgiving.
A new way to discover local food makers.
A platform for preserving family recipes.
A playful beverage experience.
A solution for reducing food waste.
A smarter hosting assistant.
A community table, food game, digital menu, cultural archive—or something we haven’t imagined yet.
You bring the idea. Lovable helps you bring it to life.
BUILD FIRST. FEAST TOGETHER.
We begin by making.
Build independently or with a team. Choose a challenge, follow your curiosity, and use Lovable to turn your idea into something tangible.
No endless planning. No waiting for someday.
By the end of the buildathon, the goal is simple:
Make something people can actually experience.
Then, once the final builds are complete, we close the laptops.
And gather around the table.
Friendsgiving becomes our celebration of what we made—and the people we made it with.
WHAT COULD YOU BUILD?
Anything at the intersection of:
Food × Beverage × Technology × Creativity × Community
Think hospitality, recipes, cultural storytelling, food discovery, wellness, restaurants, community access, hosting, games, sustainability, celebrations, creator tools, personalized experiences—and beyond.
If you can imagine it, build a version of it with Lovable.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
Founders. Designers. Developers. Creators. Food lovers. Hospitality people. Community builders. Curious humans.
All experience levels are welcome.
You do not need to arrive knowing exactly what to build.
Come with an idea. Join someone else’s. Or discover yours in the room.
WHY FRIENDSGIVING?
Because some of the best ideas begin around a table.
Food creates connection.
Hospitality creates belonging.
Technology can help both reach further.
So this Friendsgiving, we’re asking a bigger question:
What could we build to help more people gather, nourish, celebrate, and belong?
Then we’ll use Lovable to build an answer.
Build ideas. Share food. Create impact.
