About this event

A New Chapter for Europe’s Hackathon Ecosystem

Launch Night in GDG Ahlen

​Every big idea starts with a first moment. This is ours.

We are hosting this launch night to bring together the people shaping the future of hackathons and tech communities.

​The evening will also welcome members of The AI Collective, adding another perspective from Europe’s growing AI and tech community.

​This evening is made for builders, hackathon enthusiasts, organizers, community leaders, student societies and everyone who turns ideas into action.

​Expect a focused live launch moment, drinks and meaningful conversations with fellow participants. Connect with like-minded people, exchange ideas and explore new opportunities for collaboration, projects and community building.

​Something big is happening for Europe’s hackathon ecosystem, and this is your chance to be there when it begins.

One night. Multiple cities. One European Hackathon Hub. Small rooms. Big network.
