'The launch of the first-ever Vibe Coding Competition at this year's RALLY is a testament to our commitment to innovation,' said Christopher Day, CEO of Elevate Ventures and RALLY Visionary. 'We constantly challenge companies and individuals to be curious, think differently, innovate and iterate. Now, we're putting that mindset to the test. This competition will inspire the
next generation of founders to think creatively about their next endeavor. How can you leverage AI and LLMs to accelerate your aha moment?'
The competition, in partnership with Crafted, will happen live at RALLY and the competition kick-off will begin at 12:00 p.m. EST on Wednesday, September 24 where participants will learn more about the challenge they are solving and what they need to build. A happy hour and a break are scheduled during the event, and participants should be prepared for unexpected twists along the way.
