๐Ÿš€ 8x Mobile Hackathon We just got back from Silicon Valley. And honestly, Europe needs more weird people building ambitious things. So we're taking over a space in Ljubljana for one day and filling it with founders, indie hackers, students, engineers, designers, PhDs, self-taught builders, people working boring consulting jobs who secretly want to quit, and anyone obsessed with making things. No panels. No corporate nonsense. Just people building. What you'll find Great foodFree drinksAI tools and credits from our partnersPrizesUnexpected demosFuture friends, co-founders, and maybe a wife Schedule 10:00 AM โ€” Doors open, coffee, make friends 10:30 AM โ€” Quick kickoff and start building 12:30 PM โ€” Lunch 4:30 PM โ€” Live demos 5:15 PM โ€” Final pitches 6:00 PM โ€” Done. Go get drinks with your new friends. Rules Teams of 1 or 2 people. Use whatever you want: AI. Code. No-code. Agents. APIs. Spreadsheets. Duct tape. Build something useful. Or weird. Or beautiful. Or completely unhinged. Just ship. See you in Ljubljana.
