Secret Tech Garden Party 🍃

## Secret Tech Garden Party 🍃

We have all been there... deep into AI and realising that you low-key just want to move to a secluded house in the hills and lie on the grass under the stars. 🥹 ✨

So maybe it's time to... **come touch grass.**

**Secret Tech Garden Party 🍃 **is the perfect opportunity to disconnect from AI, connect with a curated group of like-minded tech & startup humans at an undisclosed location outside Melbourne.

Just good food, good drinks, good music, and a home & garden full of people who are genuinely plugged into what's happening in the ecosystem.

## The Secret currency

**This is a secret 🤫 tech garden party. Its Application only. To get on the list, tell us one secret worth knowing.**

A hire, a raise, a pivot, a launch, a quiet exit. If it's real and it's interesting, that's your entry.

- **Where:** The address is revealed once you're in. It's about 50 minutes from the city — a private estate with gardens, and plenty of space to get into trouble

- **Food & drinks:** Sorted. Come hungry

- **Dress code:** Make an effort. Think garden party, dress to impress.

- **Getting there:** Once you're approved, you'll be added to a group chat where you can organise carpools with other guests. We recommend it. It's a nice drive, and you'll probably want a drink when you arrive. This is a community initiative, and a lift is not guaranteed. Exact address will be shared 24 hours beforehand.

## **Agenda:**

**3pm OPTIONAL** VVIP Helicopter transfer to the venue thanks to [Rotor One.](https://rotor.one/) (extremely limited spots).

3:30pm - 5pm - A curated VIP Supper of 6 founders & Investors kicks off with whisky to match. (must have selected the VIP ticket). 💎

5pm - 9pm All guests arrive! Arrive for golden hour in the garden. Sunset photos overlooking the gardens 🍃. Champagne and canapes will be served. Share your secrets with others...if you dare. 🥂🤍

## The Venue:

The venue is part of a one-of-a-kind 4,000sqm property, originally dreamt up by a Hollywood director!The 4-bed, 3.5-bath, 900sqm guesthouse is fully self-contained & soundproofed.There's something for everyone:• 4K cinema w/ Netflix• Karaoke• Magnificent granite bar 🥂• Indoor pool (unheated)• Heated spa w/ jacuzzi• Sauna• Garden, Tennis court & basketball area• Table tennis• BBQ• Billiards• Mahjong




## **What this isn't**

This isn't a networking event. There's no lanyard, no panel, no pitch deck. It's a party for people who are building interesting things and happen to know interesting things. That's it.

## **​🎟 Limited capacity. Invite-only. Apply to join us!**

**Our last Tech Event had over 90 people ON A WAITLIST. Please ensure you RSVP no later than 02/07 to confirm your place due to high demand. **Spaces are limited, and if we are unable to host you this time, we may keep your application and invite you next time. If you are unable to attend, please let us know in advance so we may open up a waitlist spot in your place.

Cursor Hackathon Indonesia

## Cursor Hackathon Indonesia is coming soon!

## Important! Date might change!

Stay tuned for more update on: [http://linkedin.com/in/aurelius-ivan-wijaya](http://linkedin.com/in/aurelius-ivan-wijaya)[https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathan-kurniawan/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathan-kurniawan/)[https://linkedin.com/in/arissetia](https://linkedin.com/in/arissetia)[https://www.linkedin.com/in/naufaldirafif/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/naufaldirafif/)

The AI Native Workforce Hackathon

✨ **AI Superpowers: AI-Native Workforce Hackathon**Hosted by Build ClubPowered by Build Club Campus / Solaris

**1-day Hackathon · For business builders, operators, founders and AI-curious teams**

AI is no longer just a tool for engineers.

The next generation of teams will be AI-native: faster, leaner and able to automate the repetitive work that slows everyone down.

**AI Superpowers** is a hands-on hackathon for people who want to build real AI workflows, agents and automations for the modern workplace.

No coding background required. Bring your laptop, one workflow you wish you could automate, and a willingness to build.

---

## 🦸 The Mission: Build Your AI Superpower

Every team, function and individual has a “superpower” waiting to be unlocked with AI.

Your challenge is to build a practical AI-powered workflow that helps people work better.

This could be:

- A sales assistant that researches leads and prepares meeting notes

- A customer support agent that triages tickets and drafts responses

- An HR copilot that helps onboard new employees

- A finance workflow that analyses invoices or reports

- A research agent that turns messy information into insights

- An ops automation that removes manual admin

- A founder assistant that helps with GTM, investor research or strategy

The goal is not to build a toy demo.

The goal is to build something useful enough that a real person or team would want to use it on Monday.

---

## 🛠️ What You’ll Build

Participants will form teams and build AI-native workflows using modern AI tools, agents and automation platforms.

You can bring your own stack, or use the tools and templates provided on the day.

We’ll support you with:

- AI workflow inspiration

- Tool tutorials and demos

- Mentor support

- Problem statements

- Team formation

- Credits and partner tools where available

- A final demo showcase

---

## 🏆 The Challenge

**Theme: AI-Native Workforce**

Build an AI workflow, agent or internal tool that helps people work faster, smarter or more creatively.

Judging criteria:

✨ **Usefulness** - Does this solve a real workplace problem?🧠 **AI leverage** - Is AI meaningfully improving the workflow?⚙️ **Execution** - Does the demo work end-to-end?👥 **Adoption potential** - Would a team actually use this?🎤 **Storytelling** - Is the problem and solution clearly explained?

---

## 🎁 Prizes & Perks

Winning teams will receive:

- Prizes from Build Club and partners

- Demo exposure across the Build Club community

- Potential feature opportunities on Build Club Campus

- Access to mentors, builders and AI operators

- Food, drinks and good energy throughout the day

---

## Who Should Join

This hackathon is for anyone who wants to become more AI-native at work.

Perfect for:

- Founders

- Operators

- GTM teams

- Product managers

- Designers

- Engineers

- AI champions

- Anyone curious about building practical AI workflows

You do not need to be technical. You just need to be ready to build.

---

## Why This Matters

AI adoption is moving from awareness to practice.

The people and organisations that win will not just “use ChatGPT.” They will redesign how work gets done.

This hackathon is a chance to learn by doing, build with others, and leave with a real AI workflow you can keep improving after the event.

---

## Your Hosts

This event is organised by **Build Club**, a global AI builder community helping people learn, build and adopt AI through practical education, events and real-world projects.

Build Club has grown to **70,000+ builders across 60+ cities**, bringing together founders, operators, students, engineers and business leaders who want to move from AI curiosity to real AI capability.

Build Club x Antler - Sydney Coworking Circuit

## **Build Club Coworking is back, this time @ Antler HQ.**

Bring something to work on, alongside others doing the same. Hosted by Build Club and supported by Antler.

Spending the evening heads-down on your startup, side project, or next build? Do it in a room full of people doing the same.

We're running an evening of coworking with AI builders and early-stage founders, closing out with lightning demos on what everyone shipped. Every attendee is admitted on what they're building, so you'll know exactly who's worth talking to.

## **First Look: Circuit**

Most of the momentum from a night like this evaporates by next week. You meet great people, ship something you're proud of, then go quiet until the next event.

We built Circuit to fix that. It's a daily home for builders: did you ship today, what's your streak, who else is stuck on the same thing you are right now. We'll be deploying it live for the first time in the room: come try it with us.

## **What to Expect:**

Coworking. Bring your laptop and whatever you're building. Space to focus and collaborate, plus a natural halfway break to compare notes.

Halfway Check-In. At 7, we'll pause and share where you're at. See what others have been working on, and an opportunity to ask for/offer help with any blockers.

Lightning Demos. At 8, everyone has 60-90 seconds to show what they shipped, non-negotiable: we believe the best builders should be showcasing their work, even if you don't have slides or a polished pitch ready.

## **Details:**

🗓️ Monday, July 13th🕕 5:30-8:30 PM📍 Antler HQ - Level 2/63 Dixon St, Haymarket NSW 2000

BYO laptop. Snacks and soft drinks provided.

*Note: We'll be capturing some photos and videos throughout the event for promotional use - speak to someone on the day if you prefer not to be included.*

Agentic AI Build Week powered by GenAI Fund

## **The Largest Agentic AI Hackathon in ASEAN** 🌏

**🔴 LIVE NOW — July 8–12, 2026 — Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam**

View Event Website: **[https://aabw.genaifund.ai/](https://aabw.genaifund.ai/)**

2,000+ AI builders · 500 agentic projects · 30 AI enablers · 10 enterprises. Build Week is underway — if you're just finding us, there's still time to register for the Official Kick-Off (Jul 11) and Demo Day (Jul 12).

**Locations by day(please register for the workshop seperatly):**

- **Day 1 (Jul 8) — ENABLE:** Tasco Office

- **Day 2 (Jul 9) — INTEGRATE:** AWS HCMC Office (300–500 pax)

- **Day 3 (Jul 10) — DESIGN:** VNG Campus

- **Day 4 (Jul 11) — Official Kick-Off & BUILD:** Galaxy Innovation Park

- **Day 5 (Jul 12) — DEMO DAY:** Galaxy Innovation Park

Each workshop day (Jul 8–10) has its own venue and check-in — please don't come to Galaxy Innovation Park before Jul 11.

Most hackathons end with a demo. This one ends with a deployment conversation. You know the drill. You build something impressive over a weekend. You demo it. Someone claps. You get a LinkedIn post out of it. Then the prototype sits in your GitHub and everyone goes back to their day jobs. That's not what this is. Agentic AI Build Week is 5 days where Southeast Asia's most serious AI builders come together to build agents that actually work — and move toward actual deployment. No toy problems. No demo theater. Real enterprise briefs, real infrastructure, real outcomes.

🚨 **Registering now?** Select **Builder** to compete in the hackathon, or **Guest** to attend the workshops and Official Kick-Off Day (Jul 11) without submitting a project. Approval required.

---

## The Room Has Formed

Builders, engineers, and leaders from AWS, OpenAI, NVIDIA, Tencent Cloud, Vietjet, VNG Games, KFC Vietnam, Tasco, Phong Vu, Shinhan Future's Lab, GoTymeX, Guardian, and 100+ technology, enterprise, and ecosystem partners are in the room this week — building, mentoring, judging, and having pilot conversations on Demo Day. These aren't logos on a slide. They're the people evaluating what gets built.

💰 **Up to $1,000,000 in AI Credits and Perks — Yours Just for Showing Up** Registered builders get access to a $1M+ credit pool spanning the full AI stack — AWS, Tencent Cloud, Microsoft for Startups, Google for Developers, Kimi, Qwen, Agora, Langfuse, ClickHouse, BytePlus, TRAE, Notion, ZenRows, Bright Data, Apify, TinyFish, Antitech, n8n, Daytona, Featherless, and Virtuals. Perks access is open now — claim yours in the Event Portal at [aitalent.genaifund.ai](https://aitalent.genaifund.ai).

---

## What Makes This Different

Every problem statement is real. Every winning solution is evaluated for deployment — not demo polish. Enterprises evaluate and can deploy winning solutions after Demo Day; a strong build could be live within 90 days.

💡 **Not a traditional hackathon.** Real enterprise briefs, real constraints, real evaluators with authority to greenlight a pilot. 💡 **Production-first.** Builds are judged on deployment-readiness, not 5-minute demo polish. 🤖 **First in SEA — twice over.** Robotics & Physical AI and Gaming AI have never had a dedicated track at a Southeast Asian hackathon before. Both debut here. ⚡ **The full AI stack is in the room.** AWS, NVIDIA, OpenAI, Anthropic, Qwen, hyperscalers, model providers, and dev tooling — all present for one week.

The Tracks — Ten Industries, Plus Founder Mode

Each track is backed by a partner or investor network. Problem statements publish July 1; confirm your team's track on Devpost (max 60 teams/track, first come first served).

**Enterprise AI**

- ☁️ **Built with AWS** — open-innovation track for production-ready AI

- 🚗 **Mobility** — with Tasco

- 🍗 **F&B** — with KFC Vietnam

- 🛒 **Retail** — with Phong Vu

- 🏨 **Retail & Hospitality** — with Guardian and The Anam

- ✈️ **Aviation** — with GenAI Fund

- 🤖 **Robotics & Physical AI** ★ FIRST IN SEA — with GenAI Fund

- 💳 **Financial Services I** — with Shinhan Future's Lab

- 💰 **Financial Services II** — with GoTymeX

- 🚀 **Founder Mode** — AI-native ops track; up to USD 150K investment opportunity from GenAI Fund and its investor network

**Consumer AI**

- 🎮 **Gaming** ★ FIRST IN SEA — with VNG Games

---

## 🎙️ The Experts in the Room

50+ mentors and speakers — operators who've deployed AI inside real organisations, in the room all week as judges and evaluators. Confirmed keynotes include:

- **Girish Patil** — Tech Lead, Applied AI, AWS (Day 4 Keynote)

- **Dr. Benedict The** — Chief Digital Transformation Officer, Vietjet

- Full judge, mentor, and speaker roster at [aabw.genaifund.ai](https://aabw.genaifund.ai)

## Who Gets the Most Out of This Week

👨‍💻 **The Technical Builder** (~60% of attendees) — Developers, CTOs, and technical founders shipping production-grade AI agents.

💼 **The Business Builder** (~40% of attendees) — Founders, product leaders, and executives building the moat, not just the demo.

Beyond Demos: Production AI Agents with Mastra × CopilotKit

**To attend, you MUST register through this link:** [https://events.builder.aws.com/d/fdzdr4](https://events.builder.aws.com/d/fdzdr4)**Please note that physical (not digital) ID is required to enter the event.****Location: AWS Builder Loft, 2nd floor**Production AI agents are getting easier to build and harder to ship. The gap between "demo on a laptop" and "running reliably for thousands of users" is still where most agent projects get stuck. This evening brings together two of the most active open-source agent frameworks, Mastra (TypeScript agent runtime) and CopilotKit (open-source AI assistants framework), for a focused builder night about what it takes to move agents from demo to production.

**Format:** a fireside conversation between the founders of Mastra and CopilotKit, demos from both communities, and networking with engineers building the next generation of AI agent systems. Open to engineers, technical founders, and platform leaders shipping AI agents at scale.
