The Summer of AI is here on the road to AI Engineer, and 65labs is bringing back one of its signature hackathons!
This event is open to ALL (not just ticket holders for AI Engineer Singapore).
What to expect:
7 hours of pure building with 300 other builders in person - bring your ideas, ship your projects.
Solo or squad - everyone registers individually, but you can form or join teams of up to 4.
Open canvas - no fixed themes; experiment, prototype, and push your tools to their limits.
Hundreds of dollars in credits for you to build without limitations.
Free food/drinks through the day.
