Wintercircus Invites - Hackers & Ravers
Code all night. Dance till dawn.
A 12-hour AI hackathon fused with a rave, hosted inside Wintercircus.
Build something wild with AI, ship it in a day, then celebrate on the dancefloor with 200 fellow hackers.
Expect fast building with real data, AI-powered projects, live demos, and a closing night that turns into a full-on party.
Come with a team or join solo — engineers, creatives, business minds and curious builders all welcome.

What to expect
Build with real data. Move fast. No fluff.
- Connect your tools via Soda Straw and start building instantly
- Create agents, dashboards, apps — or something completely unexpected
- Demo your project, get scored by AI, and pitch to a live jury
- Close it all with a rave under the dome
Who it’s for
If you can hack — or just think sharp — you’re in.
- Engineers, designers, data scientists, operators
- Founders, business profiles, and curious minds
- Company teams or solo joiners (we’ll match you on-site)
Two ways in
Bring a team
Come with your company crew. Mix technical and business profiles, connect your data upfront, and hit the ground running.
Join solo
Flying solo? Apply and we’ll plug you into a team. Bring your skills, pick up new ones, and build something you couldn’t do alone.
Tracks
Pick a direction — or go rogue.
