AI for Social Good | Open Atlas Hackathon 2026

Open Atlas - AI for Social Good Hackathon 2026 This is where the builders show up. The AI for Social Good Hackathon is the flagship Day 1 activation of Open Atlas Summit 2026 — America's largest gathering for high-skilled immigrants, founders, and investors. Builders spent two months shipping AI-powered solutions to problems that actually matter: immigration, healthcare, education, financial inclusion, newcomer settlement. On August 21, the strongest teams come to Milpitas to demo live in front of judges from across the Silicon Valley ecosystem. Winners are announced the same day on the main stage. After the pitches — an on-site job fair. Sponsors and hiring teams will be in the room for introductions, interviews, and follow-on connections.
