about this event

Sponsored by Databricks, come build projects with AI, meet engineers and win prizes and accreditations. WAGMI-Connect will also be hosting.

RESERVATION ONLY VALID ON LUMA. RESERVE HERE. If you sign up on Eventbrite, your RSVP will not be registered.

Spend time building with AI on Databricks, guided by the engineers who work on the platform itself. Over three days at Queens College, you'll form a small team, take on a live challenge, and leave with a finished project, a professional network, and a real Databricks credential. WAGMI-Connect will also be there to host their networking session where tech professionals can congregate and meet.

What to Expect:

Friday, Sept 18 · 3:00 - 8:00 PM (check-in from 2:00 PM) — Pick up your badge and goodie bag, meet the room, and form a team of two or three. The challenge is revealed at kickoff... and the build begins.

Saturday, Sept 19 · 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM — A full day to build. Get unstuck by Databricks engineers, make progress toward your accreditation, connect with professionals in the WAGMI-Connect corner, and book your headshot slot.

Sunday, Sept 20 · 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM — Final build time in the morning, then demos in the afternoon. Every team presents, and judges select the top ten to take the main stage for a 3 to 5 minute demo. Winners are chosen by the Databricks team.

Who it's for — Students and career-changers building with AI for the first time, and anyone already in tech who wants to sharpen their skills, meet the next wave of talent, and leave with a project and a credential worth showing.
