Since AI Hackathon is the flagship annual event of Since AI. The 2026 edition is a Major League Hacking (MLH) 2027 Season Member Event. Builders from across the world gather for a 72-hour AI hackathon format to solve real company challenges and ship working AI products.

The next Since AI hackathon is 6th–8th November 2026 in Turku: check-in opens Friday at 15:00, the opening ceremony starts at 17:00 (each team's owner selects the team's challenge here in the app until 17:30), and on Sunday the closing ceremony starts at 13:15 and the finals at 14:00, with the event ending around 15:30. Applications are open now — head to the events page to apply.

In person in Turku, Finland: the opening and closing are at EduCity, and teams build at BioCity and Joki next door. Remote participation is not available — you must attend on-site.
