AI Buildathon for Marketers in NYC June 2
AI Buildathon for Marketers in NYC June 2

The only way to learn AI is to actually use it

Join other B2B marketers for a half-day buildathon where you'll get hands-on with AI tools, collaborate, and create solutions to a real marketing challenge our nonprofit partner has. Learn how to apply AI to a real world challenge, experiment with no-risk, and give back to a great cause.

This isn't an AI workshop, its a buildathon

No long lectures or how-to demos. Just you, a small team of fellow marketers and a real marketing challenge to solve for a nonprofit.

In one afternoon, you’ll get hands-on with AI in a low-pressure, high energy and collaborative setting. Leave with new skills, real connections, and work that makes an immediate impact.

No AI experience needed, just bring curiosity. If you’ve used AI tools before, even better.
