About Event

Tired of going to tech events where you feel unseen?

Ever get the urge to build something, but can’t find the right space or people to do it with?

Sick of the pressure to “win” and ship something in a single weekend?

We’ve seen the traditional hackathon model: fast-paced, high-pressure, often dominated by younger crowds and male participants. You're expected to pull all-nighters, race to finish, and walk away with a prize or nothing.

But what if there was a space to build for fun? One that’s inclusive, relaxed, and focused on long-term innovation rather than a 48-hour sprint?

That’s why we’re launching AI Build Day in Montreal, hosted by Elantech.

It’s a sandbox for builders and creatives. A low-pressure space to tinker with ideas, work on MVPs, and connect with like-minded people, without sacrificing sleep or authenticity.

________________________________________________

Who we're looking for 🌟

We welcome solo devs, startup teams, and side project explorers alike. No coding experience? No problem. Whether you're into product, design, research, or just "vibe coding," there's a place for you here.

Everyone is welcome, but this space is intentionally designed to uplift women, non-binary folks, immigrants, those in the 30+ age range, and anyone who’s ever felt the need to shrink themselves to belong in tech.

Agenda

10:00–10:30 AM — Welcome & Brief introduction in a roundtable to get to know all participants and find teammates (if you want)

10:30 –11:00 AM — Find Teammates

11:00 AM–1:00 PM— Focused Work

1:00–1:30 PM — Lunch

1:30–4:00 PM — Focused Work

4:00–5:00 PM Pitch Presentations & Closing
Informal final pitches and real time feedback followed by event wrap-up.

You’ll leave with something real, maybe even something you’ll keep doing. A project. A connection. A version of yourself you're proud of.

In addition, we've created a Discord community for those who attend AI Build Day to share potential ideas, find their ideal teammate and discover friends with the same goals:
