IBM Bob-a-Thon

​See in three hours what AI-assisted development could do for New Mexico's biggest modernization challenges and leave with a working prototype, not just a presentation.

​The Bob-a-thon is an interactive, hands-on workshop organized by IBM to showcase the capabilities of IBM Bob. The event allows participants to work directly with IBM Bob to build AI-driven solutions, experiment with code generation, and explore modernization of legacy systems.

​Example use cases to explore:

• ​Utilities

  • ​Water management prediction & drought prediction

  • ​Wildfire response coordination

• ​Education

  • ​First-gen student success portal

  • ​24/7 student self-service automation

• ​Workforce

  • ​Job matching & skills assessment

  • ​Veteran career readiness app

• ​Research

  • ​Supercomputer code modernization

  • ​Data analysis & research assistant

• ​Tourism & Culture

  • ​Balloon Fiesta Visitor App

  • ​Bilingual community chatbot (EN/ES)

​During Bob-a-thon, participants interact with IBM Bob alongside IBM Technology Building Blocks, which include pre-built capabilities for data, automation, trust, and agent-based workflows.

​Leverage IBM Bob to accelerate coding, modernize applications, and explore AI-driven development workflows. It combines learning, experimentation, and real-world application to demonstrate the transformative potential of AI in enterprise software development.

​Walk away with:

• ​A working prototype or proof-of-concept built on IBM Bob, ready to demo to leadership.

• ​A prioritized roadmap of use cases mapped to your mission and modernization goals.

• ​Hands-on fluency with IBM Bob - your team will know how to build, iterate and deploy using IBM Bob.
