Hackathons

TM Forum Hackathons bring the industry’s brightest minds together to solve real challenges, build working solutions and accelerate innovation. Embedded within TM Forum’s flagship events, they unite developers, architects and technology leaders around the priorities shaping the future of the industry.

For sponsors, Hackathons are a chance to lead from the front. Put your technology in the hands of expert practitioners, see it tested in real-world, multi-vendor environments, and engage directly with the talent driving industry transformation. It's where ideas become action, and thought leadership becomes proven leadership.

Join the Innovate Americas Hackathon from 4-7 October 2026, and tackle one of the industry's biggest challenges: creating AI systems that are trusted, scalable and ready for real-world deployment. Working alongside developers, architects and industry experts, your team will turn ambitious ideas into practical solutions. 

From AI agents and operational resilience to trust, governance and deployment at scale, you'll collaborate, build and test in a fast-paced environment designed to move innovation from concept to execution. Bring your expertise, and help turn trustworthy AI from ambition into reality.
