The UniHackfest 2026 – Hanoi Campus Workshop brings together experts who are actively involved in product development, ecosystem building, and innovation across the fields of AI, Blockchain, and Web3. The event is expected to offer students practical insights into emerging technology trends, product development thinking, and the journey of transforming an initial idea into a solution with real-world value.

The workshop will take place from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on 24 July 2026 at the HUST – MB Digital Hub, Hanoi University of Science and Technology.

A strong idea can provide a valuable starting point. However, turning that idea into a practical product requires the right mindset, a clear understanding of user needs, and access to real-world experience from the market.

The speakers at UniHackfest 2026 – Hanoi Campus are not merely observers of technological change. They are professionals who are directly involved in building products, developing communities, and advancing innovation in AI, Blockchain, and Web3. Drawing on their practical experience and diverse perspectives from both industry and technology communities, the speakers will help students gain a deeper understanding of market trends, product development strategies, and the process of transforming an early-stage idea into a viable solution.

With more than four years of experience in Brand Marketing, Communications, Project Management, and Market Development, Ms. Theon currently represents MEXC in digital communications, community development, and the organisation of locally tailored Blockchain and FinTech events in Vietnam.

In the rapidly evolving Web3 landscape, strong technology alone is not enough to ensure the success of a product. A product must also be clearly positioned, communicated through a compelling message, and supported by a sustainable user community.

At the UniHackfest 2026 – Hanoi Campus Workshop, Ms. Theon will share practical insights into Web3 marketing, product branding, community development, and strategies for connecting products with the right target users.

Through these insights, he aims to inspire students as they begin their journey towards becoming the technology builders and product developers of the future.
