We're running a one-day AI hackathon in Madrid on Saturday Sept 12. Deliberately small: 20 curated spots, engineers and founders, individual format, something working by the end of the day. Then food and beers while people demo.
The plan is to repeat it every month or so, so I care more about getting the format right than about this one edition.
Two things I keep going back and forth on:
Individual vs teams. Individual means everyone ships something and nobody hides. Teams mean more ambitious projects but a worse experience for whoever gets the bad group. I've landed on individual for a one-day format, but I'm not sure.
