Collab Lab: Bring-One Builder Night
Collab Lab is a collaborative build night for people who want to make progress on something they care about and not do it alone.
This isn’t a workshop, a panel, or a networking event.
It’s a shared work session where folks support each other, pair up organically, and move one thing forward together.
Bring a project.
Bring a question.
Bring curiosity.
You can also just bring yourself.
Who this is for
Developers, designers, technologists, and creatives
Folks early in their journey and folks with years of experience
People rebuilding momentum, starting something new, or feeling stuck
First-timers are very welcome.
Especially if you’re coming with a friend.
What to expect
A short grounding welcome to set the tone
Quick lightning intros (what you’re building or curious about)
Open build time: solo, paired, or small group
A gentle close with reflections and gratitude
No pressure to present.
No expectation to be “ready.”
Why “Bring-One”?
PhilaCon Valley is built on community, not crowds.
If you’ve been before, this is a great night to invite one person who would feel at home here.
If you’re new, you won’t be walking into a room of strangers instead you’ll be walking into a community.
What to bring
A laptop or notebook (optional)
Something you want to work on, think through, or get unstuck on
An open mindset
Accessibility & vibes
PhilaCon Valley centers inclusivity, care, and collaboration.
Come as you are. Progress > perfection.
