Build with AI Lagos 2026 is for people who are tired of talking about AI and ready to build with it.

We have heard the noise: AI will change everything, vibe coding is the future, everyone has the next big idea. Cool. Now let’s see what you can actually build.

For 24 hours, builders, designers, developers, product people, and curious problem-solvers will come together in Lagos to think up ideas, form teams, build real working products, test them, compete, and demo what they created.

The theme is simple: Just Build It.

No overthinking.

No endless planning.

No waiting for the perfect idea.

Bring your laptop, bring your curiosity, bring your team spirit — and build something.

Participants will get access to mentorship, team-based collaboration, a live leaderboard, guided sessions and final demos. The event will also feature hands-on building with Google AI and the Gemini API.

This is not a sit-down-and-listen event.

It is a build-first, learn-by-doing, ship-something-in-24-hours hackathon.

Come with an idea or find one in the room.

Just don’t leave without building.
