**The Experience**
TechHaus isn’t a tech conference.
It’s a Builder Room where engineers, AI talent, product thinkers and hands-on technical operators come together to go deeper than the hype.
You won’t just hear about innovation. You’ll interrogate it.
**Expect:**
- Real technical conversations, not surface-level panels
- Practical insights from builders shipping real systems
- Curated introductions across the tech ecosystem
- Energy, curiosity and depth without the corporate gloss
Because great technology isn’t built in isolation. It’s built in rooms like this.
---
**Tickets**
Paid. Limited. Intentionally curated.
TechHaus is designed for engineers, AI practitioners, product professionals and technical operators who care about:
- Building real products
- Solving meaningful technical problems
- Learning from people actually shipping
This isn’t a hype-driven tech expo. It’s a high-signal room for builders serious about craft.
Seats are capped to protect the depth of conversation.

Agent Glow Up Hackathon
# ✨ Agent Glow Up Hackathon
**Hosted by Sylph × Google Gemini** | **Powered by Build Club**
**1 day Hackathon · San Francisco ** 💅 📍 **Venue:** WorkOS HQ
---
💄 The Mission: Make Beautiful Agents
AI agents are powerful, but most of them aren't pleasant to use.
**Agent Glow Up** is an IRL hackathon for top-tier technical talent in SF. The goal is simple: Build thoughtful, end-to-end agent applications that **look** as good as they think.
We are looking for **Agentic UI**—dynamic dashboards, generative interfaces, and creative tools. If you love shipping under pressure and care about design systems as much as backend logic, this is for you.
---
🛠️ The Superpower: Build with [AdaL](https://sylph.ai/)
This hackathon runs on **AdaL**, the local-first coding agent built by **Sylph AI**. It bridges the gap between technical logic and visual design:
**1. One Agent, Two Interfaces**
- **🖥️ AdaL CLI (For Developers):** The most comfortable coding agent interface.
- **🌐 AdaL Web (For Everyone):** Visual interface for non-technical users.
**2. The Best Design Engineer**
- 🎨 **Design with Gemini 3 Pro:** Use Gemini's multimodal capabilities for visual reasoning, wireframing, and UI patterns.
- 🔧 **Code with Claude Opus 4.5:** Use the latest Claude Opus 4.5 for deep architectural integrity, React implementation, and refactoring.
Switch "brains" mid-conversation with `/model` to match the task
---
🏆 The Challenge
**Theme:** Agent-Powered Applications (User-Facing)
**Judging Criteria:**
- ✨ **Aesthetics:** Usability and interface quality (No lazy chatbots!).
- 🧠 **Intelligence:** Agent design and orchestration.
- ⚙️ **Reliability:** Clarity of workflows and end-to-end stability.

Sip & Scale x Build Club | Episode 3: Breaking Into The Sydney Startup Space
✨ **Sip & Scale Episode 3: Breaking into the Sydney Startup Space**
Ever wondered what it’s actually like working inside a startup?
For EP3, we’re teaming up with **Build Club** to spotlight the operators, creatives, and builders making things happen behind the scenes, not just the founders.
They’ll be sharing how they entered the startup space, what their roles involve day-to-day, and the realities of working in fast-paced, early-stage teams, from both the opportunities and challenges that come with it.
The evening will move between a short fireside chat and open time to connect, creating space for easy conversations with others exploring similar paths.
Whether you’re startup-curious, career-exploring, or simply keen to meet people in the ecosystem, we’d love to have you there ✨
⸻
**Agenda**
5:30 – 6:00 PM → Arrivals
6:00 – 6:30 PM → Fireside Chat
6:30 – 8:00 PM → Networking Mixer
It All Started Here - Build Club Sydney
**About This Event**
Build Club Sydney is back.
On February 24th, we're bringing together the OGs who were there in the early days - the builders who showed up when it was just an idea.
This isn't a pitch event. This isn't about who raised the most or who's winning.
This is about seeing time pass. About understanding what happens when you just start building.
**What to expect:**
→ Panel discussion with Mark Monfort (Aus DeFi Association/Foundry Labs), Quynh Nguyen (Mutinex), and Saanvi Yerawar (AWS/Build Club) on why community actually matters
→ builder journeys:
- Daniel Lord-Doyle - Mary Technology
- Jack Wakem - Tempest AI
- Graham Herdman - System 3
→ What's next for Build Club Sydney
→ Open networking with ~100 people who actually ship - founders, engineers, investors, operators, and anyone else moving Sydney's tech ecosystem forward
**This room is for high-agency people.**
If you build, fund, enable, or otherwise make things happen - you belong here.
Not outcomes. Starting.

**FAQ**
**Who should come?**High-agency people who make things happen.
Founders building products. Engineers shipping code. Students launching projects between classes. Investors actively enabling companies. Operators who move fast. Anyone who sees a problem and solves it instead of just talking about it.
High agency isn't about credentials. It's about bias toward action.
If your default mode is "let me handle that" or "I'll figure it out" - you belong here.
**What about students?**YES. Some of the highest-agency people are students. If you're building something, shipping projects, or making things happen while still in school - you absolutely belong here. Age and stage don't matter. Execution does.
**What about [role X]?**If you're HIGH AGENCY in that role, yes.
VCs who roll up sleeves with portfolio companies? Yes.Business people who ship products? Yes.Students building and shipping? Yes.Technical builders? Obviously yes.Content creators who just want photos? No."Idea people" who don't execute? No.
**I wasn't an OG, can I still come?**Yes. This event is about showing what's possible when you show up and execute. Whether you were there in 2023 or you're showing up now - you're writing the next chapter.
**Is this just an AI event?**No. Build Club started AI-focused but it's for anyone building hard technical things - robotics, AR/VR, deep tech, game dev, infrastructure. If it requires deep technical work OR high-agency execution, it counts.
