Hello Visionaries and Innovators!
It's time to build! Join us for a full day of hands-on creation at the Power Platform Hackathon by Microsoft Calgary and the Calgary Power Platform User Group. Whether you're brand new to Power Platform or already building apps and flows at work, this event gives you a structured, friendly space to learn, team up, build, demo, and meet other makers.
Bring your laptop, your charger, and your curiosity. We'll bring the prompts, mentors, lunch, and just the right amount of community chaos.
No matter where you're starting from, there's a spot for you:
No team? We'll match you with other builders.
No idea? Choose from our prepared challenge prompts.
New to Power Platform? Mentors will be on hand throughout the day.
Experienced maker? Join or lead a more advanced build.
Not ready to compete? Come as a spectator for demos, networking, judging, and the closing ceremony.
