Shipaton: MSP - IRL Build Night & Demo Wrap
Shipaton: MSP is the Twin Cities IRL meetup for RevenueCat's Shipaton 2026 - the global mobile hackathon with over $1 million in prizes, and winning apps on a Times Square billboard. Apps are due Sept 30.
Bring your laptop and build. We'll kick off with a quick intro to Shipaton, then open build time with other local builders, and wrap with demos - anyone can show what they shipped.
Free food is on RevenueCat. All levels welcome: indie devs, students, first-time app makers, and anyone experimenting with AI app-building tools.
Every builder who registers for Shipaton also unlocks the Ship Kit - 28 sponsor perks to build your app with.
