The Product (Un)Conference '26 | Builder's Day
Into the Future: a day to build, demo and ship with AI.
- Date: Sunday, 22 November 2026
- Time: 9:30 AM to 7:00 PM
- Venue: Bengaluru (exact venue shared with selected builders)
- Hosted by: The Product Folks
✨ About the Event
Builder's Day is a full day for people who build. It's for PMs, engineers, designers and anyone building with AI tools who would rather ship something than sit through slides.
These aren't made-up hackathon prompts. Founders and senior leaders bring problems they are actually facing, and you spend the day building solutions with the latest AI tools.
Bring your laptop and whatever you build with.
⚙️ How It Works
- Problem statements: founders and senior leaders share real problems from their products and teams
- Build: spend the day turning your idea into a working product, with partner tools and mentors on hand
- Demo: shortlisted builders demo live in front of the founders and leaders who set the problems
- Win: the best builds share $5,000 in cash prizes, and some might start a real conversation with the founder whose problem they solved
🏆 Prizes and Credits
- $5,000 in cash prizes for the best builds
- $1M+ in AI credits from Anthropic, Replit, Sarvam, CodeRabbit, Figr, Plivo and more
- $500 in Claude credits with every pass
