The First Non-Tech Buildathon
Come with an idea. Leave with a product.
On September 4, join Builder Pub at AWS Builder Loft San Francisco for a free, hands-on AI buildathon where anyone—from first-time builders to experienced engineers—can turn an idea into a working product in one afternoon.
🤝 With support from our Build Partners, Lovable, ElevenLabs, Linkup, and Vercel, and our Community Partners, Bond AI, AI Camp, and WeAreDevelopers, we’re bringing together builders from across the community to learn, build, and ship.
No coding or AI experience required.
🌎 Community Partner Spotlight
WeAreDevelopers is the global platform for developers and AI professionals to grow, connect, and lead in the age of AI. Join them at the WeAreDevelopers World Congress North America, September 23–25 at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California.
🎟️ We’ll have 70 free WeAreDevelopers conference tickets, valued at $1,099 each, available for attendees joining us in person tomorrow. If you’d like one, arriving a little early will give you the best chance of getting one.
