Two days in March 2027.The people who will hire you, fund you, or build with you will be in that room. Stories from this week will travel for years. Make sure yours is one of them.

How your two days work
Two days. Two jobs. Compete, then take the main stage energy home. Skip either day, and you will spend the year hearing what you missed from people who did not.
Four arenas. Limited seats.
Don't wait to be discovered. Enter an arena, put your craft on display, and compete for recognition, opportunity, and prizes. The winners get talked about. Everyone else watches from the timeline.
Competition registration coming soon
Proof from the room
This is what past editions looked like. 2027 will be louder. Do not be the one watching the recaps.

Every seat taken by someone serious about their next chapter.

Hands-on sessions where ideas become something you can ship.

Real prizes. Real recognition. Names that travel after the lights go down.

Relationships forged in two days that open doors for years.
“It broadened my perspective on engineering and innovation, and connected me with amazing people in tech.”
