Vibe Code Cincy: From Prompt to Product

I'm proud to welcome Lightship Foundation as a community sponsor, with MORTAR as our venue partner for this next gathering.

And with Netlify returning as our technical sponsor, alongside continued support from Ledger & Logic and Rootlayer Software, we're expanding what participants can experience.

Introducing an optional VCC build challenge: FROM PROMPT TO PRODUCT.

Ever had an idea for a business, app, or digital product but didn't know where to begin?

We're going to offer a few starting prompts and practical build challenges where you can explore how to turn an idea into something tangible using AI-assisted development.

Maybe it's a landing page for your business.

Maybe it's a simple application that solves a problem.

Maybe it's the first working prototype of that idea you've been sitting on.

We'll explore the tools, build together, and help you get something working and deployed.

You don't need to be a developer. You don't need to have a startup. You just need the curiosity to try.

And if you've already got a project you're working on, bring it! The original VCC format isn't going anywhere.

No selling. No presentations. No unnecessary barriers.

Just people learning, sharing ideas, solving problems, and building.
