What could you build in 24 hours with a great team and the right tools? ⚡
On 20–21 November, students from across Europe come to Maastricht for the MAIN AI Hackathon & Summit, our biggest event yet, with OpenAI and ElevenLabs on board.
You team up with students from every field (tech, business, law, medicine, psychology and more), get a real challenge, and have 24 hours to turn an idea into a working AI prototype. Then you pitch it on the main stage, and a jury crowns the winner. 🏆
No coding experience? No problem! Every team needs builders, thinkers and storytellers, and the best ideas come from mixed teams.
💻 Build with real tools: $40,000 in OpenAI and ElevenLabs credits for the hackers
🧠 Learn by doing: mentors sit at your table while you build
🎤 Get inspired: a keynote from OpenAI's Immanuel Schwall, plus talks and hands-on workshops
🏆 Win prizes: from OpenAI and ElevenLabs, with the finals on the main stage
🚀 Kickstart your career: meet startups looking for interns, first hires and thesis students
📄 Stand out: a working AI project you built in 24 hours is something to show on your CV and LinkedIn
🌍 Meet your people: make friends with ambitious students from across Europe
