Fashion Forward presents: Fashion Hackathon for New York Tech Week

Join us during New York Tech Week for a high-energy, hands-on event where fashion meets technology. This interactive hackathon brings together designers, founders, developers, and creatives to collaborate, build, and pitch innovative ideas shaping the future of fashion. Whether you’re interested in AI, sustainability, e-commerce, or digital experiences, this is your chance to turn ideas into real concepts alongside like-minded builders.

You’ll work in teams, tackle real industry challenges, and present your ideas to a panel of founders and operators. Expect fast-paced collaboration, creative problem-solving, and meaningful connections across fashion and tech.

Please come with a laptop so you can fully participate in the build session.

Whether you’re building a brand, breaking into fashion tech, or just curious, you’ll want to be in the room.
