The next chapter of agentic infrastructure is memory, persistence, and self-evolving systems.

**After bringing builders together in NYC, **we're bringing the hackathon to **San Francisco during SF Tech Week** with the MongoDB team to tackle one of the hardest problems in agentic AI: building harnesses that can adapt, remember, and operate reliably over the long haul.

We're looking for impactful projects built with MongoDB Atlas, Vector Search, and Agentic Memory tooling. Whether you're building agents that rewrite their own guardrails, systems that hold context across weeks-long tasks, or entirely new approaches to persistent agent memory, this is your opportunity to build the infrastructure the next generation of agents will run on.

Top judges from across MongoDB's ecosystem will be joining us, and prizes will be announced soon.

**Note:** This event is fully in-person in San Francisco as part of SF Tech Week. Space is limited. Maximum team size is four. All attendees must submit an application and be approved to attend.
