Event guide

Why this event is on the calendar

Chatathon is Northeastern’s Artificial Intelligence Club build sprint around AI and the future of work. The organizer frames the challenge around practical tools for agents, productivity workflows, decision support, workplace learning and accessibility, with a short, high-intensity build window instead of a sprawling weekend format.

The public agenda makes the attendee flow clear: check-in, a thematic opening, three protected hours to build, a project lock, preliminary judging, finalist demos and awards. That makes it a good local option for people who want to ship and present something in one afternoon.

Who gets value from it

Northeastern students, aspiring AI builders, future-of-work product thinkers, mentors and local partners interested in practical prototypes.

How the day tends to work

A 3-hour protected build sprint inside a 12:00–6:30 PM public event window, followed by judging and six finalist demo slots. The organizer describes capacity for up to 30 teams and a prize pool above $3,000.
