A NEW YEAR. NEW POSSIBILITIES. A CHANCE TO BUILD SOMETHING BETTER.
A new year invites a familiar question:
What do you want more of?
More confidence. More rest. Better routines. More creativity. More movement. More connection. More intention. More time to care for yourself—and the people around you.
Now take it one step further:
What could you build to help make that possible?
What could help someone feel better, care for themselves more intentionally, express themselves more fully, find what works for them, or move through 2027 with greater agency?
BUILD YOUR 2027: NEW YEAR, NEW YOU is a hands-on buildathon, Experience Lab, and live reset produced by Human Bloom Collective.
For one creative afternoon in Chicago, we’re bringing together technology, beauty, self-care, wellness, hospitality, and everyday life—and asking what becomes possible when you build something you genuinely want to exist.
You’ll collaborate with other participants to turn an idea into an interactive digital or hybrid experience.
You don’t need to know how to code.
You don’t need to arrive with an idea.
You don’t need to be building a startup.
You just need to be curious about what could be better.
🛠️ FIRST, WE BUILD.
Bring an idea, discover one together, or join a team.
Use accessible creative and AI-powered tools to turn possibilities into working prototypes and experiences people can try.
What might you create?
A tool that matches someone’s mood with a scent, ritual, or environment.
A digital storefront or booking experience for a beauty bar.
A personalized self-care ritual generator.
A beauty routine that adapts to real life.
A confidence-building tool or wellness game.
A personal reset dashboard.
A smarter way to use what you already own.
A new experience around rest, movement, style, grooming, creativity, or connection.
Or something none of us has imagined yet.
Explore beauty, self-care, wellness, style, rest, movement, mood, ritual, connection, and everyday life.
Build for yourself.
Build for someone you love.
Build for a community you understand.
Build something useful. Something delightful. Something ambitious. Something beautifully simple.
Something that makes life feel a little more human.
✨ THEN, WE FINISH & SHARE.
Every build needs a moment when the work becomes real.
Projects are finalized.
Prototypes are submitted.
Teams share what they’ve created.
Because building isn’t only about imagining possibilities. It’s about creating something another person can actually experience.
You don’t need a perfect product.
You need something worth sharing.
Build it. Finish it. Share it.
💗 THEN, WE LIVE IT.
After the builds and demos, the experience shifts from creating to exploring.
Try what other teams have made.
Discover new ideas, tools, rituals, and experiences.
Connect with people you didn’t know when you arrived.
Explore how creativity, beauty, wellness, and technology can intersect in surprising ways.
Depending on participating partners and the host venue, the Experience Lab may also feature curated beauty, self-care, wellness, or hospitality activations.
Some experiences may be limited, scheduled, or offered as special surprises.
The invitation is to experience something new—and notice what you might want to carry into the year ahead.
🌸 FINALLY, WE RESET.
Because New Year, New You doesn’t have to mean becoming somebody else.
It can mean becoming more intentional about what supports you.
What you make time for.
What you return to.
What you let go of.
How you care for yourself.
How you care for others.
And what you choose to build next.
We’ll close with an opportunity to reflect on what we’ve created, experienced, and discovered—and identify something meaningful to take forward into 2027.
Build something for the year ahead. Experience something new. Reset. Return differently.
BUILD IT → FINISH IT → SHARE IT → LIVE IT → RESET
