AI Video Hackathon w/ @TechHalla & Upscale Conf
Upscale Conf is teaming up with Freepik to host a special hackathon at the Freepik office in San Francisco — just days before 600+ top creatives gather at SFJAZZ.
This hands-on evening —hosted by @TechHalla , one of the most recognized voices in AI— will unfold in three parts: a quick creative workshop using Freepik’s AI tools, an open hackathon to bring your ideas to life, and a laid-back meetup to close the day with real conversations and good company.
You’ll be creating side by side with local creators, artists, and developers, using the same tools now featured in major productions and TV shows — with a chance to have your work showcased at Upscale Conf.
It’s all about bold ideas, fast collaboration, and exploring what happens when creativity meets cutting-edge AI.
Be sure to bring your laptop along!
