Host a Regional

Bring the Championship
To Your City

Universities, esports programs, and innovation hubs: produce an official AIPC regional in your city. We send your winners to nationals — on us.

Two Ways to Host

Pick the lane that fits your org.

Paid franchise. Full event with HQ-funded trip to nationals for your winners, turnkey platform, and a host-scoped admin dashboard.

Free brand kit on the spot. You host. Top finisher gets a Nationals Round 1 slot when capacity allows — paid franchise winners skip R1.

The championship infrastructure, already battle-tested.

HQ covers travel, lodging, and registration for your regional's winners — so the prize sells itself.

Registration, ticketing, live challenge data, AI + human judge scoring, leaderboard — all wired up for your event slug.

Once approved, your team gets a scoped host account to manage your event end-to-end — and nothing outside it.

Your local muscle. Our rails.

Seats 100–500, reliable Wi-Fi, AV for keynotes, space for a tradeshow-style floor.

Your network of students, technologists, creatives, and local sponsors. We don't parachute in an audience for you.

A one-time fee per event that funds the nationals trip, platform access, and the brand license. Figures shared after your application is reviewed.

One or two organizers who can own on-the-ground execution. We provide playbooks; you provide the hands.
