Join us as we gather 60+ of the most prolific hackers in the Bay Area for an exclusive AI video generation hackathon hosted by the one any only GenAI Collective community in partnership with HeyGen! 🚀
Imagine this: the Bay Area’s sharpest minds gathered under one roof, racing against time to build what the rest of the world hasn’t even dreamed of yet. No limits. No boundaries. Just you, a blank slate, and the tools to create something unforgettable!

Let’s go beyond the buzzwords, break free from the same recycled AI ideas, and build something that’s not just functional but mind-blowing. We’re here to turn your wildest “what-ifs” into “holy sh*t, that’s real!” moments 🤯
