​Ready to build real-world B2B tools without touching thousands of lines of code?

Join us for a 4-day innovation sprint where developers, designers, AI enthusiasts, and creators team up to build enterprise-grade prototypes that reimagine how vertical communities like Berlinhouse operate and thrive.

Using powerful MCP, low-code/no-code platforms, you’ll rapidly assemble workflows, rethink collaboration, and tackle real challenges with scalable, AI-powered solutions.

​📅 Main Event: Saturday, May 24th, 2025

🕚 Time: 11:00 AM – 10:00 PM
