Secure AI Hackathon
Join us for a free 24-hour online hackathon organized by the Seattle Data, AI & Security Community.
This hackathon is for students, early-career builders, developers, data enthusiasts, and tech professionals interested in building practical AI systems with a focus on safety, trust, and security.
Participants will form teams and build projects around one of the following themes:- AI Security Copilot
- Trustworthy Data Analyst Agent
- Human-in-the-Loop AI Agent
This is not a prompt-writing challenge. Teams are encouraged to build real systems that include data handling, AI reasoning, guardrails, privacy controls, auditability for demos.

Networking### Why Attend
- Most teams have built an agent demo. Very few have one running reliably in production. This event is for those closing that gap.
- Understand what evaluation frameworks actually look like in practice — not just theory, but the traces, metrics, and iteration loops that drive real agent improvement.
- Go beyond the initial build and learn why optimization, observability, and session tracing are the real differentiators once agents are live.
- Discover how leading teams at GitHub, Salesforce, and AWS are solving for scalability, reliability, and cost in production AI agent deployments.
- Learn how developer workflows are being reshaped by agentic systems — and what that means for teams building on or alongside platforms like GitHub.
- Get a clear view of where most agent projects stall — not at the model level, but at deployment, evaluation, and architectural decision points.
### Who Should Attend
- Professionals building, deploying, or scaling AI agents and agentic workflows
- Teams exploring production-ready AI systems across GitHub, Salesforce, and AWS ecosystems
- Individuals interested in observability, tracing, monitoring, and evaluation frameworks for AI applications
- Practitioners moving AI solutions from prototype to enterprise production environments
- Organizations looking to improve the reliability, scalability, and performance of AI-driven systems
- Builders and innovators exploring real-world use cases for autonomous and intelligent AI applications
