An EVERJUST event is a working session. You bring a laptop, you pick something small enough to finish in one sitting, and you leave with something that runs. That is the entire format.
Working sessions, not panels
Most technology events are performances. Someone talks, a room listens, everyone swaps contact details in the hallway, and people go home with a notebook full of intentions. Nothing gets built and nothing gets checked.
Ours is built the opposite way. The room is set up for work, not for watching, and there is a hard stop at the end. There is no keynote to sit through and no sponsor track to survive. When something gets explained, it is because a person in the room is stuck on it right now.
What you leave with does not have to be impressive. It has to be real. A running prototype, a script that does exactly one job, an integration you finally proved works. Small and finished beats large and hypothetical, and a demo that runs settles arguments a slide never will.
Why a software factory runs events
EVERJUST has two jobs: build durable software products, and run the go-to-market that gets them used. Go-to-market is half the business, not something bolted on after the code works. We sell it as the Growth Loop Program, and events, distribution and partnerships are part of what that program does.
Events are the part that puts you in a room with people who actually build. You learn more about a tool by watching someone fight with it for an hour than by reading its launch post. You learn more about a person by seeing what they do when the thing does not compile.
Running our own is also how we keep the practice honest. We would rather do the thing than describe it. What we have shipped is on the portfolio page, and how we work is on the about page.
What to expect
The room is open to engineers, designers, founders, and anyone who wants to be near working code. Experience levels will vary and that is fine. An hour spent pairing with someone who knows more than you is the fastest hour of the day.
Who it is not for: if you are looking for a stage, a lead list, or an audience to pitch, this is the wrong room. We are not building an exhibition floor, and there is no captive attention to sell.
What to bring:
- A laptop and a charger. Sort out your accounts, API keys and environment before you arrive. Nobody wants to spend the first two hours resetting a password.
- An idea small enough to finish, or the willingness to join someone else's.
- Nothing else. No pitch deck, no company, no prepared demo. Turning up with an idea and a laptop is enough.
You do not need a team, and you do not need anyone to have validated the idea first. Coming on your own works.
On the calendar: Minneapolis AI Hackathon
Thursday 20 August 2026, 14:00 to 23:00, in Minneapolis. Nine hours: arrive, form up or work solo, and build something that runs. To register, email company@everjust.co or use the contact form.
AI is the theme rather than a constraint: agents, models, retrieval, voice, vision, or the tooling around any of it. What matters at the end of the night is whether it runs.
To ask anything before you commit, including how registration works, use the same address or the contact form. We would rather answer a question in advance than have you spend the first hour of the day working out how the room runs.
How to hear about future events
Email company@everjust.co and say you want to be told about events, or send the same request through contact us. We will tell you once a date is set. We do not publish a date before it is real.
If you would rather talk about a piece of work than come to an event, book a meeting, or read what each engagement costs in the shop. Everything we sell is fixed-scope and publicly priced, from a Product Feasibility investigation to an Enterprise Build.
If the format sounds like how you want to work every day: our hiring process is published on jobs. Apply, conversation, a paid real problem, decision. An event is not a shortcut through any of those steps. It is just a good way to find out whether you like how we think.
Build ideas. Share what works.
EVERJUST events are working sessions around software products, go-to-market, and the decisions that make both better. For event questions, contact events@everjust.co.
