AI Build Day: AI with Purpose by ElanTech
Calling all AI builders, hackers and tinkerers, in Montreal — join ElanTech for an in-person AI Build Day designed to help you ship a user-ready product by the end of the day.
Whether you're starting from scratch or refining a prototype, this is your space to create with purpose — surrounded by builders who are sharp, kind, open, and intentional.
What to Expect
Come with an idea or start fresh, build solo or team up on-site
Build alongside brilliant AI builders using tools like generative AI and AI agents
Real-time feedback, rapid prototyping, and focused work time
And yes — snacks, vibes, and momentum included
*This is a special edition with some teams participating in Cooperathon with early-stage projects.
Hosted in Montreal, this build day brings back the energy we wish we saw more often in tech:
🪄 Creative and focused 🧠 Sharp but kind 💬 Open, reflective, and welcoming ✨ A space where you can breathe, speak honestly, and build without ego
Agenda:
10:00–10:30 AM — Welcome & Brief introduction in a roundtable to get to know all participants.
10:30 AM–12:30 PM — Team Work Session
Focused work time in teams to develop ideas and projects. Teams will be formed for the ones with no teams.
12:30–1:30 PM — Lunch and take a break.
1:30–3:00 PM — Team Work Session
Continue working in teams on your projects.
3:00–4:00 PM — Pitch Presentations & Closing
Final pitches, including Cooperathon participants, followed by event wrap-up.
Who are you?
All levels welcome — from solo devs to startup teams, researchers to side project explorers. Coding is not required — we welcome builders from product, design, research, and more.
You’ll leave with something real — maybe even something you’ll keep going. A project. A connection. A version of yourself you're proud of.
All genders welcome. But this space is intentionally shaped to uplift women, non-binary folks, and anyone who's ever felt they had to shrink themselves in tech
👩🏽💻 Who are we?
ElanTech is Quebec’s leading tech community catalyst, supporting grassroots innovation, founder-driven ecosystems, and inclusive tech.
