Themes are sealed until 1pm so nobody pre-builds. Pick one, find real data, ship something a real resident would use. Bring: laptop, charger, headphones, an open mind. Don't bring a project you started last week, pre-built work is out of scope. Solo or team? Both work. Maximum of 3 in a team! Judging is on outcome, not team size. There'll be a "looking for team" board at registration. Come ready to learn, build, and innovate with fellow developers as we explore the future of AI and search technologies.    Date: 18 July 2026  Organized by: Elastic × GDG Cloud New Delhi    Build.
