​This isn’t your typical hackathon - and it’s definitely not just a networking event.

​It’s a day-long creative sprint where the main commitment is to build something. Whether it’s a scrappy prototype, a vibe-coded app, or a product idea brought to life using AI tools - if you’re excited to experiment and create, you’re in the right place.

​And no, you don’t need to know how to code. Thanks to powerful new AI tools, you can build real, working projects just by describing what you want. We’ll show you how.

​This event is perfect if you:

• ​Are curious about what AI tools can actually do
• ​Want to create something cool without writing code
• ​Work in product, ops, design, strategy, marketing, or startups
• ​Want to meet other creative thinkers and AI hackers from Ottawa, Toronto & Montreal

​Are ready to roll up your sleeves and ship something in a day?

​What’s in store:

• ​Build using tools like Bolt, Cursor, Claude Code, and more
• ​Solo or team projects - you choose
• ​Prizes + judges TBA
• ​Free food, lightning talks, and a high-energy, builder-first vibe

​No idea? No team? No problem. ​We’ll help you find collaborators and share idea prompts to get you started.

​Whether you’re coming solo or with your team, you’ll leave with hands-on experience, fresh ideas to bring back to your org, and a project you can actually show off.

​This is the perfect environment to explore what AI can really do — and how you can start using it in your own work.
