The openBIM Hackathon Porto 2026 runs from March 22-24 at the Alfândega Congress Center in Porto, in the days leading up to the buildingSMART International Summit.
The in-person hackathon brings together developers, engineers, BIM specialists, designers, students, and researchers for a 48-hour build using open standards such as IFC, IDS, BCF, and bSDD. Teams will work on practical challenges, build prototypes, and present results to industry leaders during the Summit week.
The event includes team formation, lightning pitches, hacking sessions, mentor feedback, final presentations, and a Summit presentation of the winning projects. See the OSArch community announcement and buildingSMART event page for details and registration.
