HackCafé
HackCafé
RSVP [here on Luma](https://luma.com/dq9aq8wp) ☕ HackCafe: Build, Sip, Ship. ​Baku’s Architects, Seniors, and Founders: This is for you. ​Forget the 48-hour marathons and the pitch decks. We’re going back to the roots of pure development. HackCafe is a 3.5-hour "Sprint-to-Demo" session where we turn caffeine into functional code. No judges, no rankings—just high-level networking and shipping MVPs. ​We are bringing together the three pillars of the Baku dev scene for one morning of intense building: ​🛠 The Stack (Provided for all Builders) To make sure we move fast, our partners are fueling the session with premium access: ​Google Develeoper Groups Baku: Instant access to Google AI Studio & Gemini API Keys and GCP credit ​AWS User Group Baku: AWS Credits to deploy your backend/infra on the spot. ​Cursor Baku: Cursor Credits to experience the fastest AI-assisted coding environment. ​🎯 Who is this for? We are specifically looking for experienced developers and architects who: ​Want to Socialize: Skip the LinkedIn networking; meet your peers while actually building something together. ​Want to Experiment: Have a "weekend project" or a new AI tool you’ve been dying to try? This is your window. ​Value "Shipping": We don't care about perfect code. We care about a working demo in 3 hours. ​📜 The HackCafe "Un-Rules" The Cafe Tax: The event is free, but we support our local hosts. Every builder must buy at least one coffee/snack. ​No Slides Allowed: Your "presentation" at the end is 2 minutes of showing us your code or your running app. ​Bias for Action: Don't spend 2 hours on setup. With Cursor + AWS + Google AI, you should have a prototype running in 60 minutes. ​⏰ The Schedule 11:00 AM: The Pitch Fire (Find a partner or grab your credits). ​11:15 AM: Deep Work & Hacking. ​2:00 PM: The Demo Reel (Rapid-fire show & tell). ​2:30 PM: Networking & Wrap-up. ​🎒 What to Bring Your Laptop & Charger. (Power outlets are limited, so come with a full battery if possible!) ​An Open Mind. Be ready to help a neighbor or learn a new tool. ​A "Bias for Action." Don't spend 3 hours choosing a CSS framework—just start building. ​Note: Space is limited by the cafe's capacity. Please RSVP only if you are 100% sure you can make it. ​📍 Event Details ​Date: 29.03.2026 ​Time: 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM ​Location: United Coffee Beans (UCB) Nizami Street. [https://maps.app.goo.gl/yBs1QZcCiy7n2LT97](https://maps.app.goo.gl/yBs1QZcCiy7n2LT97?utm_source=luma) ​Cost: Free (Price of 1 Coffee) ​Let’s turn caffeine into code. See you at the cafe!

Connected Westerville Night of Networking!
Connected Westerville Night of Networking!
**Connected Westerville Night of Networking** *April Edition: The Introduction Economy* You've been to the networking events. You've done the small talk. Collected the cards. Forgotten the names. And walked out feeling like you just wasted two hours of your life. The problem isn't you. It's the format. Most networking events put you in a room and tell you to figure it out. So everyone defaults to elevator pitches and business talk, and nothing real gets built. Here's the truth about networking that most people miss: Your network isn't just who you know. It's who thinks of you when they're talking to someone else. *That's* The Introduction Economy. And it only works when relationships are real. There's a reason people who come once keep coming back. It starts with seven minutes that feel nothing like networking. Then we open it up. Free networking. More conversations. More momentum. This is a room full of corporate professionals, entrepreneurs, business owners, creatives, and career builders in the Westerville and Columbus area. The mix is the magic. You might never do business with everyone you meet tonight. But someone in this room will think of *you.* **By name**. So, the next time someone needs exactly what you do, you get the recommendation. **April 14th. RSVP now.** **When:** Tuesday\, April 14th \| 6:15 PM \-\- 8:00 PM **Where:** Vineyard Community Center \| 6000 Cooper Rd\, Westerville\, OH 43081
