HackersMang is excited to announce its upcoming event, and we are looking for engaging and dynamic sessions from passionate speakers.

Theme: AI Beyond the Hype: Ideas, Innovation and Impact.

We invite students and professionals to share talks that help students understand how AI is shaping technology, careers, and the way we build software.

Student Track talks should be practical, accessible, and inspiring, with a focus on real examples, experiments, projects, and lessons that students can take back and apply.

We’re specifically looking for talks around:

AI for Students & Developers - using AI tools for coding, learning, research, debugging, documentation, and building projects.

Building with AI - real projects using LLMs, AI agents, computer vision, NLP, generative AI, or other AI technologies.

AI Experiments & Lessons Learned - what worked, what failed, unexpected challenges, and what you learned along the way.

AI & the Future of Careers - how AI is changing software development and what skills students should start developing.

From Idea to Prototype - turning an idea into a working AI-powered application.

AI Beyond Chatbots - interesting and practical applications of AI beyond simple prompting and chat interfaces.

Responsible AI - privacy, security, bias, hallucinations, evaluation, and building AI responsibly.

We especially encourage live demos, project walkthroughs, experiments, open-source projects, and real experiences.

You don't need to be an AI expert. If you built something, explored something, failed at something, or learned something valuable, we want to hear your story.


1. Lightning Talks (15 minutes)
