About the challenge

The LIVE AI Ideathon (2024 February 17 & March 2 - 3) is an online pitch competition that is jointly organized and operated by ICP.HUB North America and Tech Tree Root.

Our themes are artificial intelligence, blockchain / web3, and financial technology.

If you are an aspiring creative, developer, or entrepreneur who is 13 years or older, then YOU are eligible for our Ideathon!

For the full experience, register with us and join the ICP.HUB North America Discord, where you can access our workshops, tech talks, and office hours, as well as our network of professional technologists, investors, and entrepreneurs. We will provide guidance on how your team can conceptualize, design, pitch, and submit your ideas on March 3.

From March 4 until March 8, our judges will evaluate your submissions to select our Ideathon winners, who we will announce on March 9!
