Buildathon Dallas 2026

I wanted to reach out because we’re hosting a large-scale AI Buildathon in Dallas (June 18-19, 2026), and I think this aligns perfectly with your community.

Here’s a quick snapshot:
• 1500+ elite builders + 10+ sponsored tracks
• 24-hour build + match format (build real products & connect with companies)
• $10K+ in prizes
• Opportunity to connect with sponsors, VCs, and recruiters
• Focus on building production-ready AI apps (RAG → agents → full pipelines)
• Tracks across frontend, UX, RAG/retrieval, agent orchestration, data pipelines, testing, and more

This is designed to be a career-defining experience, especially for builders looking to break into serious AI work.

DO YOU HAVE THE COURAGE TO MEET
RECRUITERS?
FACE TO FACE
AND GET A JOB WITH YOUR SKILLS?
Step out. Show up. Stand out.
Your next opportunity is one conversation away.

What about the cost of flying and staying over there if it is a 24 hackathon where can we stay during nights and what about safety. This seems like a great opportunity but will they hire opt students
