Hello Sacramento User Group!

**Something big is coming to Sacramento – and you’re invited to be part of it!**

We’re hosting **the first-ever AWS Hackathon in Sacramento!**

**Description:**
GenAI Knowledgebase Hackathon—a hands-on event where you and your crew will explore Streamlit, RAG workflows, and AI-powered knowledgebases. In just a few hours, you'll brainstorm, build, and present a novel idea with real-world potential. This is our first run, so we're here to learn, create, and have fun together—trophies, teamwork, and time-travel themes included. Where we're going, we don't need boring knowledgebases!

**Mission:**
Supercharge your future with Streamlit-powered AI knowledgebases that could change the course of history (or at least your startup).
