OpenClaw Global Unhackathon: Hack day without the noise

This is a synchronized, heads-down build session happening across 24 AI Tinkerers cities worldwide for the people building with OpenClaw / ClawdBot.

If you still have “set up OpenClaw” sitting on your backlog, this is your chance to lock in and get things running.

Forget the pitches, the panels, and the prizes. This event is dedicated solely to shipping code, setting up infrastructure, and debugging components side-by-side with other serious builders.

Event Details

• Date: Saturday, February 28th, 2026  
• Time: 1:00 PM – 6:00 PM (local time)  
• Location: Shared upon acceptance 
• Cities: 24 cities globally across North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East  
• Capacity: Limited per city. Attendance is curated and space is intentionally tight.  
• Food: Pizza, snacks, and drinks provided  

Enter the Unhackathon

We’re scaling something new — the Unhackathon.

• No vendors
• No demo theater  
• No prizes  

Just come build for five focused hours with fellow OpenClaw tinkerers.

Short opening. Heads down. Optional show-and-tell at the end.

Working code over slides.

Format

• 1:00 PM — Doors open (check-in + set up)  
• 1:10 PM — 5-minute framing  
• 1:15 PM – 5:00 PM — Open build session
• 5:00 PM – 5:30 PM — Pizza and drinks 
• 5:30 PM – 6:00 PM — Optional show-and-tell (2-3 minute demos, working code only)  

No judging. No awards. No pressure.

Come hack on

• Infrastructure: Bringing in and setting up your Mac mini, configuring networking, deploying agents, and hardening your infra.  
• Plugins & Components: Developing, integrating, and debugging specific tools, skills, components, and plugins.  
• Peer Debugging: Leveraging the collective expertise in the room to solve roadblocks and accelerate your roadmap.  

Food and drinks will be provided.

Registration & Contribution

This is not OpenClaw enthusiasts. This is OpenClaw tinkerers.

We are screening for active builders with concrete projects ready to execute.

When registering, include a short note about:

• What you’re building  
• Your current stage  
• What you want to accomplish during the session  

Space is limited in every city.

Not for everyone. For the ones who build.

CopilotKit

CopilotKit is the open-source framework developers use to seamlessly integrate deeply integrated AI copilots into their React applications. It provides the essential infrastructure, including robust React components and a Multi-Copilot Protocol (MCP) server and client, to build sophisticated AI assistance. This powerful tooling enables developers to quickly add customizable, context-aware AI features, such as autocompleting textareas or full-fledged AI coding agents, significantly enhancing user experiences. We’re excited about their latest 1.5 release which enables durable, long-running agents that feel native to your product.

ElevenLabs

**ElevenLabs is a leading AI voice platform that developers use to integrate natural, expressive speech into their applications and agents. It provides high-performance text-to-speech, real-time streaming, and voice synthesis APIs that make it easy to transform raw LLM outputs into production-grade audio experiences. This powerful infrastructure enables builders to quickly add lifelike voice interfaces, conversational agents, and multimodal workflows that move beyond the chat window.

Composio

Composio is the integration layer developers use to give AI agents real-world capabilities across hundreds of tools and APIs. It provides secure, production-ready connectors and authentication flows that let agents interact with platforms like GitHub, Slack, Notion, Google Workspace, and more — without teams having to manually wire OAuth, manage tokens, or maintain brittle custom integrations. This infrastructure enables builders to quickly move from “chatbot” to fully operational agent that can read, write, trigger workflows, and take action across real systems.

Auth0

Auth0 for AI Agents is the secure authentication and authorization layer developers use to make AI-powered applications and agents trustworthy in production. It extends Auth0’s enterprise-grade identity platform with tools like Universal Login, Token Vault, fine-grained authorization, and async human approval, so agents can securely authenticate users, call APIs on their behalf, and access only permitted data with clear consent flows. This foundation enables builders to focus on innovation instead of reinventing auth, bringing secure, user-safe agent experiences to life.

OpenRouter

OpenRouter is the largest and most popular AI gateway for developers offering better prices, higher uptime, and enterprise-grade reliability while eliminating vendor lock-in. 

Vapi

Vapi Vapi is the infrastructure layer powering the next wave of voice AI products. If your hack involves real-time conversations, voice agents, or speech-driven workflows, Vapi gives you production-grade tooling so you can go from idea to working demo in hours
