OpenClaw Global Unhackathon: Hack day without the noise
Details
This is a synchronized, heads-down build session happening across 24 AI Tinkerers cities worldwide for the people building with OpenClaw / ClawdBot.
If you still have “set up OpenClaw” sitting on your backlog, this is your chance to lock in and get things running.
Forget the pitches, the panels, and the prizes. This event is dedicated solely to shipping code, setting up infrastructure, and debugging components side-by-side with other serious builders.
