Events & Calendar

Show up. That's where it starts.

CMRU events are where ideas leave the screen and enter a room. Whether it is a weekend hackathon, a policy lecture, or office hours with a stranger who turns out to know exactly what you need, the best things happen in person.

What We Host

Five formats, one goal: bring the right people into the same room.

Hackathons & Build Sprints

Intensive weekends where teams go from idea to working prototype. Real problems, real deadlines, real outcomes.

Lectures & Panels

Researchers, founders, policymakers, and practitioners sharing what they actually know. No keynote theater.

Workshops

Hands-on sessions where you leave with a new skill, a working tool, or a framework you can apply immediately.

Community Forums

Open discussions on topics that matter to Cleveland and the Midwest. Everyone gets a seat. Everyone gets a voice.

Office Hours

Drop in, ask questions, get feedback. CMRU staff and community members available for one-on-one conversations.
