Build Weekend FAQs

What is the purpose of the Build Weekend?

The goal of the Build Weekend is to bring together young makers to create, learn, and collaborate. It’s not about working all night or chasing a perfect end product. Instead, the focus is on:

  • Learning new tools and skills (like n8n automation)
  • Meeting other creatives, techies, and entrepreneurs
  • Realising an idea in just one weekend

Think of this Building Weekend as a playground for experimentation and collaboration.

When and where is the Build Weekend?

Dates: Saturday, November 29 — Sunday, November 30 (follow times)
‍Location: StartDock Coworking, Singel 126, 1015 AE Amsterdam

Note: You can't sleep in the building during the night 🚫

Can I sleep there?

Nope, this isn’t an all-nighter hackathon, sorry! 🚫🛏️

We’ll wrap up in the evenings and start fresh the next day. That way you get to rest properly and come back with new energy.

Looking for a place to stay? Book your spot at Generator Hostel using the code YOUNGCREATOR and get 25% off your stay. They were kind enough to share this special discount with all of us. And if you’re ever traveling in the future, definitely check if there’s a Generator Hostel nearby. They’re super chill and always a great vibe!

I don't have a team

No worries! Teams are formed at the beginning of the event, either through a random selection process or by allowing participants to form their own teams. We even made a Lovable-tool to find your teammates pre-event!

I already have a team

Great! Does the team consist of 3-5 people? Let all the team members sign up individually and register the team name in the form. If you are still looking for some team members, you can pitch your idea at the beginning of the hackathon, and recruit others for you team.

What should I bring?

Bring your own laptop, chargers, and any tools or software you need for your project. We provide lunch, dinner and Sunday breakfast and lunch. Drinks and snacks are available!
