About this event

Have you ever had a brilliant idea for an app, but stopped in your tracks because you don’t know how to write code? Welcome to the era of "vibe coding."

Today, you don't need to spend years learning complicated programming languages to build digital products. If you can explain your idea in plain English, you can build it. This daytime event is designed entirely for beginners, creatives, and big thinkers. We will provide lunch, drinks, and the AI tools. You just bring your imagination.

What to expect:

  • No experience needed: You won't be writing complex syntax. We’ll show you how to use AI assistants to generate the apps for you.

  • A collaborative atmosphere: Work solo or team up with other attendees to bring your ideas to life.

  • Hands-on guidance: Mentors will be floating around all day to help you talk to the AI and get unstuck.

By the time you head home, you will walk out the door with a working prototype of your idea on your phone or laptop.
