abu dhabi has builders.
engineers shipping products at noon, careem, tabby. designers working on side projects. students making things between classes. people coding from home.
they're here. but they don't know each other.
the events here are panels. the meetups are networking. everything feels like it was planned by someone who doesn't actually build anything.
there's no room. no scene. no place where all the people who ship actually know each other.
until now.
initial commit is that room.
one weekend. 200 people who build things, building things together. everyone demos sunday. everyone leaves with something they made and people they want to keep building with.
this is how scenes start. someone makes the room. people show up. they find each other. they realize they're not alone.
abu dhabi's builder scene doesn't exist yet.
it starts march 7th.
if you build things, you should be there.
the people you've been looking for are gonna be there.
and right now you don't know them.
48 hours of building
48 hours. you can stay the whole time or come and go.
bring your own
got a project you're working on? bring it. add features during the weekend. ship with momentum.
form a team
meet people friday. find your people. build something new together from scratch.
join a bounty
work with company engineers on real problems. solve it, win money. best recruiting interview that isn't an interview.
everything you need to build
food & coffee
unlimited food and drinks. pizza at 2am. good coffee always. you won't go hungry.
the space
bean bags and rugs. not conference chairs. workspace that feels like somewhere you'd actually want to be.
ai credits
free credits from openai, anthropic, aws. build whatever you want. no limits on ambition.
real engineers
engineers from sponsor companies. not at booths. actually building with you. helping you ship.
prizes
aed 50,000+ in prizes. real company challenges. real money. not exposure.
good merch

no entry fee.
builders.
if you build things — apps, products, tools, whatever — and you're in abu dhabi, you should be here.
