If you organize internal hackathons, what happens to the projects after the event ends? In the programs we support, more projects ship than most people expect. But they also produce:  → AI skills that spread across teams  → Ideas that end up on product roadmaps  → Momentum that keeps projects moving long after the event We broke down what a well-run internal program actually produces.

If you have ever wanted to go deep on enterprise-grade observability tooling, the Splunk Agentic Ops Hackathon is your entry point. Splunk's unified data platform allows builders to ingest telemetry from across an entire infrastructure stack and surface insights through AI-native indexing and Search Processing Language. The challenge: architect agentic systems that respond to what the data tells them — autonomous threat detection, intelligent alert routing, real-time SLO enforcement. You bring the agent logic; Splunk brings the machine data at scale. Compete for $20,000 in prizes while building a project that genuinely advances your platform expertise.

Neo4j runs 72-hour "Graphathons"—in-person hackathons where its engineers work side-by-side with customers to build working solutions for high-priority use cases. Every single hackathon has produced a working prototype. The team built this into a structured, repeatable program, with a clear goal: customers come away with a deeper understanding of what they can do with the Neo4j platform. We spoke with Vincent Mayers, the Sr. Community Manager behind the program, about how it works. Read the full feature: https://lnkd.in/eH59Htdk

If you're trying to drive AI adoption, the question isn't whether to run a hackathon—it's who to run it for. There are three plays:  🌐 Public hackathons to grow your developer community  👥 Internal hackathons to distribute internally & upskill your team  🛠️ Customer hackathons to get customers building with your tools Each has different goals, different KPIs, and a different setup. Grab the playbook in the comments 👇

One of our customers ran their first customer hackathon—and after just one day, nearly two-thirds of projects were ready to use in regular work. That's what happens when you give customers structured time, your product experts in the room, and a clear build challenge. Here's how customer hackathons work. Link in the comments 👇

We're halfway through the Gemini Live Agent Challenge — now's the time to build the next generation of agents that can see, hear, speak, and create in real-time using the Google Cloud Gemini Live API. Think beyond text-in/text-out interactions! Gemini's multimodal inputs and outputs lets you build agents that translate conversations naturally, weave illustrations into interactive storybooks, or act as your hands on screen to perform actions based on user intent. Compete for a share of the $80,000 in cash. Deadline: March 16, 2026. Register: https://zurl.co/AO4Pk

Your customers bought your AI tool. Now you need them to actually use it. If you're responsible for retention or product adoption, you know how hard it is to move customers from "signed the contract" to "scaling in production." Customer hackathons give your customers dedicated time and hands-on support to build real solutions with your tool—and give you the data to prove value at renewal. We put together a guide on how it works and what to measure. Link in the comments 👇
