Arizona AI Agent Hackathon

# AILaunch Presents: Arizona AI Agent Hackathon

Arizona’s biggest AI agent build weekend is coming to Chandler.
Join 200 developers, founders, students, operators, designers, and AI builders for a two-day hackathon focused on building real projects with AI agents.
This event is framework-agnostic.
Use OpenClaw, LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, Claude, OpenAI, custom Python agents, no-code tools, or whatever stack helps you build fastest.
The goal is simple:
Build something useful.
Whether you’re an experienced engineer, a startup founder with an idea, a student learning AI, or someone curious about what agents can actually do, this is your chance to spend a weekend building alongside other serious AI people in Arizona.

## WHAT YOU’LL DO

Over two days, you’ll form teams, build, test, and present a working AI agent project.
Build ideas could include:

• AI agents for business workflows
• Sales, support, or operations automation
• Research agents
• Agent-powered dashboards
• Developer tools
• Personal productivity systems
• Multi-agent workflows
• Voice, browser, or tool-using agents
• Anything useful, creative, or weird that you can bring to life

At the end of the hackathon, teams will present their projects to a panel of judges.
The best builds will be recognized.
Bring your laptop, your charger, and your ideas.
We’ll bring the builders.
