(In Person) Houston Energy + AI Hackathon

Note: You must register here to participate.

​One day. One build. The two biggest stories in tech, in the city where they collide.
​AI needs power. Power needs AI. Houston is the energy capital of the world, and on August 8 we're putting AI builders in a room to hack on the intersection, ​with Candid Intelligence, a VC-backed AI startup supported by Schneider Electric and Yann LeCun.

Capped at 30. Registrations approved on a rolling basis, so grab a spot early.

## ​The challenge

​Build anything at the intersection of AI and energy: agents, copilots, data tools, dashboards, automation. Your call. We'll drop starter prompts and public datasets (grid data, interconnection queues, energy documents) at kickoff, or bring your own idea.
​No energy background required. If you can build, you're in.
