Final Submission Countdown · Hard Code Freeze at 6:00 PM IST
Not another networking mixer with lanyards. Register solo, ship in a builder team, leave with a product and a GTM in your hands. Wrapper apps and slide decks? Seriously? Nope.
Rate limits are for demos. You get high-speed access to leading open and closed models through one API — if you actually show up. Credits and perks follow attendance, not LinkedIn RSVPs.
For verified teams who show up at kickoff — not remote RSVPs.
Build multi-agent loops and heavy reflection workflows without hitting infrastructure ceilings.
Statements stay sealed until the opening drop. Leave with something that runs, plus GTM — not a deck.
This isn't an academic sandbox. Design it. Ship it. Put it in front of real testers before the clock dies.
High bar, selective room — for people who show up and ship. No-shows don't unlock credits. Looking for free pizza and LinkedIn connections? Keep scrolling past.
Workspace setup, badge collection, Emergent AI & AI Grants demos, founder keynote.
Hacking officially begins. 24-hour countdown starts, tracks & platform details drop.
Fireside session on scaling production AI agents—a rest gap between lunch & build.
6:00 PM code freeze, judge evaluation, live Top 3 Demos, winner announcement and wrap-up by 8:00 PM.
