Event Description
Come build the future of travel & hospitality in a single day. Checkout is a one-day, in-person hackathon in NYC hosted by localhost:nyc with George (Founder, WanderWorth) & Eni (Founder, TravelSpoke). Founders, engineers, & designers team up in the morning, build all afternoon, & demo real products to founder-judges by evening.
Problem Statement
Travel & hospitality is one of the biggest industries in the world & one of the most underbuilt in software. From clunky booking flows to hotels running on decades-old systems, there's enormous room to build. Your challenge: ship something real that makes travel or hospitality better - in one day.
The Tracks
AI trip planning - agents & copilots for booking, itineraries, & personalized travel
Hotel & hospitality ops - front desk, guest experience, revenue management, back-of-house
Local & experiences - discovery, tours, restaurants, events, the on-the-ground trip
Sustainability & the future of travel - green travel, accessibility, how people move & stay

A full day of high-energy building - morning to evening
Solo or small teams (your choice)
Sponsor tools, APIs, & mentors on hand
Evening demos, judging, & prizes
