0. Intro to the Program
This initiative is a community meetup organized as part of Bolt’s “World’s Largest Hackathon,” aimed at fostering local participation in Buenos Aires. The meetup provides an inclusive, relaxed environment where innovators, creators, and community members from diverse backgrounds can connect, discuss ideas, form teams, and prepare for the global hackathon.
The event will encourage active participation, networking, and collaboration, supported by myself to engage local talent and innovation. This will be the hackathon kickoff.

4. Required Support
Specific support needed:
- Operational: Use of Crecimiento coworking space for hosting the event.
Leverage Crecimiento’s Resources:
- I would only expect a space for 15-30 people to be able to have a conversation. The co-work space is more than enough! nothing else needed.
5. Timeline
Duration:
- One-day event, approximately 2-4 hours, ideally scheduled on May 20th, 2025 (flexible between May 19th-22nd, after 5 PM).
Key Phases and Milestones:
- Pre-Event (early-mid May): Marketing, outreach, and logistical planning.
- Event Day (May 20th, flexible): Meetup and community engagement.
- Post-Event (late May): Participant follow-up, feedback collection, and promotion of success stories and teams formed.
Potential Risks and Mitigation:
I don’t see any risks other than maybe low attendance, but I don’t think this will be an issue!
