We’re calling on organizations and individuals to bring their boldest ideas to the Rhythm & Algorithm Hackathon—a dynamic two-day challenge during the Rhythm & Algorithm Conference.

On April 8th-9th, 2026, at the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, innovators, technologists, designers, nonprofits, and community leaders will team up to tackle pressing civic challenges. Together, they’ll transform ideas into actionable prototypes that drive impact and inspire change.

Whether you want to share an idea or join a hackathon team, your creativity and expertise can help shape solutions for our community’s future. Plus, we’ll keep you fueled with plenty of snacks and coffee throughout the event.
