The program
How do the Builders Rooms work?
During registration, select your interest: App Builders, Platform Builders, or Business Builders. This selection helps us manage capacity. Detailed room access will be shared before the event.
Do I need to join the Human Activity or Hackathon?
No. Both are optional. You can choose the activities that best match your energy and interest on the day of the event.
Can I join the hackathon alone?
Yes. That’s the whole point — we will help form small teams so you can meet and collaborate with new participants.
Do I need a laptop?
Yes, we strongly recommend bringing a laptop for codelabs, workshops, and the Vibe Hackathon. Tooling guidelines will be sent to registered attendees 3 days before the event.
