AICON'26 doesn't come from an events company or an outside sponsor calling the shots — it's organized by students, across four of NUST's most active technical and entrepreneurial communities, because they wanted a hackathon that actually reflects what SEECS students build and care about.
That means the people setting the modules, judging criteria, and logistics are the same people who'd be competing in a hackathon like this themselves — not a third party guessing at what makes a good challenge.
