Build in a Day. Showcase on a Global Stage. This hackathon isn’t simply a one-day sprint; it’s an accelerator for your idea. Finalists will demo their projects LIVE at MongoDB.local New York City on September 30th. The next chapter of agentic infrastructure is memory, persistence, and self-evolving systems. Join us for a hackathon focused on solving the hardest problem in agentic AI: building harnesses that can adapt, remember, and operate reliably over the long haul. We're looking for impactful projects built with MongoDB Atlas, Vector Search, and Agentic Memory tooling. Whether you're building agents that rewrite their own guardrails, systems that hold context across weeks-long tasks, or entirely new approaches to persistent agent memory, this is your opportunity to build the infrastructure the next generation of agents will run on. 🥇 Prizes $15,000 in cash prizes will be awarded across the three final teams, and more prizes will be announced! 📝 Judges Top judges from MongoDB, our partners, and the NYC ecosystem will be joining us. Stay tuned for the full lineup. ❗️Important Notes This event is fully in-person in NYC. Space is limited. Maximum team size is four. All attendees must submit an application and be approved to attend. If selected as a finalist we require one person from your team to record a demo on-site September 26th which will then be displayed at .local NYC. To be eligible to win, finalists must also be available on September 30th to attend MongoDB.local NYC and present their project.

Stories We Tend: A Garden Party by Kinfolk Tech Like a local community garden, collective memory doesn't survive on its own. It has to be tended, watered, and passed hand to hand or it withers.The stories people plant here today become roots for what the neighborhood imagines tomorrow. Our garden party invites community to share in memories of home and belonging, and to dream and imagine futures in Brooklyn. The event will feature live musical performances, small bites and tea, workshops, art-making, and a real life manifestation of our forthcoming free, consent-centered storytelling platform for community-authored multimedia memory keeping. We hope to see you at Whole Neighborhood Garden to join us in celebrating.
