Aleph Hackathon

Aleph Hackathon is scheduled for August 22–23, 2026 as a two-day build sprint connecting online participation with IRL chapters around the world.

Hosted by Crecimiento, the hackathon brings developers, designers, students, and builders into a shared format for team formation, focused building, and project demos. Participants work on common challenges during the same weekend, then present what they built to a jury.

The hackathon closes Aleph Week, a four-day technology program in Buenos Aires. LATAM Digital Assets Conf opens the week on August 20–21, followed by the builder weekend. Both events are separate, but they contribute to the same broader Aleph Week program.

Online and IRL chapters

Aleph Hackathon uses a distributed chapter format rather than a single-venue model. Builders can participate online or gather at IRL chapters organized by local communities.

The chapter model connects independent local hubs to the same global event timeline, challenges, jury, and prize structure. Previous chapters have taken place across cities including Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Rosario, Mendoza, Salta, San Juan, La Plata, Mar del Plata, Misiones, La Paz, Cochabamba, Santa Cruz, Lima, Cuenca, Medellín, Valencia, Santiago, Recife, Cartago, Accra, Kilifi, and Ikorodu.

The format is intended to make the hackathon accessible to builders across Latin America and other regions, while keeping each chapter tied to one shared event.

Hosted by Crecimiento

Crecimiento is the foundation behind Aleph Hackathon. The organization works on Argentina’s technology ecosystem by connecting builders, startups, investors, international partners, regulators, programs, events, physical spaces, and curated networks.

The hackathon builds on Argentina’s active builder ecosystem and positions the event as a regional and global sprint for people working on new technology projects.
