A facilitated build day, from arrival to celebration.
Not a bootcamp. Not a hackathon. A warm room, a real goal, and the support to make it visible. Every gathering follows the same six stages — a framework we adopted from Codeless.City and the Bureau of Creative Intelligence.
The Sip & Vibe Journey
11:00 AM – 4:00 PM · a half-day flow
Arrive & ConnectA soft landing with music, a drink, and the room.
Doors open with music, a drink, and a soft landing. No pressure to have an idea yet — the day starts with people, not tasks.
- Signature mocktail or coffee on arrival
- Nametags and one-line intros
- A quick tour of the space and the day
A seat, a drink, and three people whose names you know.
Facilitator cue — We hold space for arrival — authentic connection first is key to a relaxed, fun atmosphere.
