about this event
AI is moving beyond text. The next generation of products will reason across images, video, audio, voice, documents, and real-world data—not just prompts and responses. This hackathon is about building for that future. Join us at AWS Builder Loft on October 23 for a one-day Multi-Modal Hackathon, bringing together builders, researchers, founders, and investors to ship products that combine multiple forms of intelligence into something people can actually use.
This is a build-first event. Come with an idea, find a teammate, and leave with a working demo. Format: 1-2 builders per team, one-day hackathon, working demo required. Technical credits and resources will be provided. Additional sponsor and integration requirements will be announced.
Schedule: 9:00 AM — Check-in; 10:00 AM — Opening Remarks + Sponsor Workshop; 10:30 AM — Panel / Speaker Session (TBA); 11:15 AM — Build Starts; 11:30 AM — Lunch; 1:00 PM — Build Continues; 5:00 PM — Demo Showcase; 6:30 PM — 🏆 Awards & Closing.
Focus Tracks: Multi-Modal Applications — Build products that combine multiple forms of input—such as text, image, video, voice, audio, or documents—to solve real user problems. Multi-Modal Agents — Build agents that can see, hear, reason, and take action across different modalities, from screen-based workflows to voice, vision, and document understanding. Multi-Modal Infrastructure — Build the underlying tools that make multi-modal systems work, including retrieval, memory, evaluation, model routing, data pipelines, observability, and developer infrastructure. Full track details and judging criteria will be announced soon.
Judges & Speakers: Coming soon. We'll be bringing together founders, engineers, researchers, and investors working at the frontier of multi-modal AI.
Prizes & Opportunities: 🏆 Cash Prizes — Prize pool and placements to be announced. 💰 Beta Fund Fellowship — Standout founders and teams may be invited to interview for Beta Fund's Fellowship and potential investment. ⚡ Builder Credits — Technical credits and resources from participating partners will be available for teams.
Venue: 📍 AWS Builder Loft — San Francisco, October 23, 2026. More details on sponsors, tracks, judges, speakers, prizes, and technical requirements coming soon. For now: build something that can see, hear, understand, and act.
