Zero to Agent: London
Zero to Agent: London 🤖✨
come ship an AI agent with us. in a day. in London. then pizza, wings, drinks & music til late.
we're the London stop of Vercel's Zero to Agent - a global build week where people all over the world go from "huh, what if…" to a real, deployed agent using v0 and Vercel.
we're packing the best bit into one glorious Saturday: ~100 cracked builders, one room, five hours on the clock, a bunch of agents being born in real time, and a proper afterparty at the end of it.

🗓 when
saturday, 2nd may 2026 · 10:00 - late
📍 where
1-2 Paris Garden, London SE1 8ND
🛠 what you'll build
agents. any agents. solo build - one submission per person, no teams. we'll have three sponsor-backed tracks if you need a nudge:
Vercel workflow (WDK) - long-running, durable async agents
v0 + MCPs - rapidly build agents wired to MCP servers
ChatSDK agents - agents that live in Slack, Discord, Teams, GitHub
or freestyle and bring whatever weird, ambitious, or stupidly useful thing you've been itching to make. every builder gets the full sponsor stack: $30 v0 credits, $10k Mubit credits, $100 bright data credits, $50 Code Rabbit CLI credits. full track docs and quickstarts: https://vercel.notion.site/02agentresources

👀 who it's for
engineers, designers, founders, tinkerers, generally curious people who want to actually ship something. solo only - no teams. experienced with agents? amazing. never built one? also amazing, we got you.
space is strictly limited to keep the room builder-heavy, so registration is approval-based. hit register and I'll get back to you soon.
see you may 2nd. bring your laptop and your best ideas. 🫡
