Sponsors bring concrete problems from their companies — real, boring stuff that deserves to be solved. You and your team pick a topic, take your room by the sea, and build until Sunday night.
If your topic came from a sponsor, your team can keep building with that sponsor as your first client. Meaning you walk out with a product, a client, and a validated problem.
Not a course. Not a summit. A place where things get built.
Sponsors bring problems they actually need solved. You ship a working answer in 48h.
Rooms by the sea, meals on the terrace, BBQ on the beach Saturday night.
Top teams keep going with the sponsor.
Backend, frontend, full-stack, AI/ML. If you ship code and know what an LLM API is, this is for you.
Built something before, or about to start? This is the perfect weekend to test an idea in the open.
If you contribute on GitHub, run side-projects, or just want to learn by building — you're welcome.
// tickets Direct sale on iabilet.ro. Pick the ticket that fits, check out, you're in.
Solo? We'll help you find a team on arrival. max=5 / team.

Live demo + pitch in Problem / Solution / Demo format. No slides without a demo.
Any language, any stack. You can start from existing (open-source) code as long as you call it out.
Pick from the sponsors' list or freestyle (Open Innovation track).
We're still locking down the final logistics with partners (logistics, prizes, credits). What's on this list is what we're sure you walk out with.
Sponsors put concrete problems on the table. Pick one. Build a real solution, not a demo for the sake of it.
Founders, CTOs, and AI specialists who bring production experience, not Medium articles.
Don't like any sponsor topic? Build whatever you want, judged on the same rubric.
Pitch in front of founders, sponsors, hiring managers. The room you want to be in for what comes next.
Event tee, badge, stickers, sponsor merch. Honest swag, not landfill.
Pick a sponsor's topic and ship — and you keep working together after the hackathon.
Hack A Ton is open to any company — tech, retail, logistics, healthcare, anything. If you have a problem AI agents can chew on, our hackers will spend a weekend building a real solution with you watching.
Communities, meetups, media — partners who don't bring a problem, but bring the people. Want your community in? Drop us a line.
Announced weekly on LinkedIn / IG. Expect familiar faces from the Romanian tech ecosystem — founders, CTOs, senior engineers, investors.

Builder if you're shipping code. Visitor if you're here to watch. VIP if you want the full ThePlace stay — bed, spa, meals, the works. All three on sale via iabilet.ro.
Three days on-site at ThePlace, Mamaia. Pick a sponsor topic, form a team, ship something working by Sunday noon.
Max 5 per team. Come solo and we run matchmaking on Friday. Bring your own bed.
Walk the floor, meet the teams, eat with us. You won't leave with code — you'll leave with a notebook full of ideas and a shortlist of people you want to work with.
Pick the days, get the ticket, show up. Accommodation on you.
Same access as Visitor, plus you sleep on-site, eat at ThePlace, and unwind in the spa between sessions.
Per person. Includes the two-night stay at ThePlace and everything Visitor gets.
Tickets are sold on iabilet.ro — Builder if you're shipping code (100 lei), Visitor if you're here to watch (100 lei), or VIP for the full ThePlace stay with accommodation, spa, and meals (800 lei). Buy the ticket, you're in.
Builder is 100 lei (on-site hacking access, mentorship, Demo Day). Visitor is 100 lei (Friday → Sunday access, BBQ, Demo Day). VIP is 800 lei per person (everything Visitor gets, plus two nights at ThePlace, all meals, and spa access).
ThePlace, Mamaia — on the Black Sea coast, about 2.5h from Bucharest. The whole event runs in one venue: rooms, terraces for hacking, beach for the BBQ.
You don't need to be an expert. Mentors help with AI-specific parts. You do need to ship code in a modern stack (Python, JS/TS, or another relevant language) and have built something before (a project, internship, public repo).
Yes, totally fine. Friday evening we run matchmaking — you connect with other hackers based on skills and interests. Most teams form on the spot.
Yes, max 5 people per team. Each member needs their own Builder ticket.
No. Hack A Ton is on-site. It's part of the experience — networking, in-person mentoring, dinner on the beach. If you can't make it to Mamaia, see you next edition.
If you pick a sponsor's topic and your team ships something working, the sponsor can become your first client. That means a post-event pilot contract on terms you negotiate. (Not mandatory — you can also just take the code and go.)
€6,000+ in total prize value across cash, API credits, and partner perks. €1,000 cash for the first-place team. The full breakdown by track will go up before the event.
Laptop, charger, your wide-band attention span, swimwear (optional but recommended). Builder and Visitor tickets are access-only — bed and meals are on you. VIP includes both.
