For the past two weeks, teams of local builders have been working on real solutions to real business challenges from Gulf Coast organizations. Tomorrow night, they present what they've created—and we want you in the room.

Hatch-a-thon Demo Night

- Tomorrow, Thursday, January 29th
- Doors open at 6 PM CST
- University of South Alabama - Fairhope Campus (111 St. James Ave., Fairhope, AL)

What to Expect:

Hatch-a-thon isn't your typical hackathon. Instead of sleepless weekend sprints, our builders got two full weeks to create thoughtful solutions for actual business problems submitted by local companies and nonprofits.

You'll see teams present solutions they've built for challenges ranging from vacation rental optimization to railroad operations to nonprofit impact tracking. You'll vote for your favorite in the People's Choice awards.

And you'll connect with builders, entrepreneurs, and business leaders shaping our region's tech future.

We have builders of all experience levels competing across three tracks, including over 30 high school students. Come cheer them all on as they showcase what Gulf Coast innovators can do.

This event is free and open to the community.

Whether you're a business owner curious about what AI can do, a parent supporting a student builder, or someone who wants to see what happens when local talent tackles local challenges—join us tomorrow.

See you at 6PM at USA's Fairhope Campus!
