The LegalTechTalk Vibeathon is where that shift comes to life.
The barrier to building in LegalTech has always been technical skill. That barrier is gone.
We’re entering a world where lawyers become product designers, operators become builders, and ideas move faster than ever before.
So how do you become part of it?
Over two days, attendees will compete to use AI tools to generate, refine, and iterate on real LegalTech concepts – turning prompts into working prototypes using replit, fast.
Working across three themes shaping the legal industry today, participants will build, submit, and compete to create the most impactful solution.
Judges and mentors will be on hand throughout to guide, challenge, and champion the ideas that stand out.
No dev team required. No technical background expected. Just your thinking, your perspective, and your ability to shape something new.
1. Come with an idea
Arrive with a concept, problem, or prompt you want to explore.
2. Build with AI
Use AI tools to create and iterate – with live demos, guidance, and support throughout.
3. Submit & showcase
Upload your prototype and see how it stacks up.
Participants can build prototypes within one of three tracks:
Win, and you’ll be recognised live on stage at LegalTechTalk – with an official LTT trophy to prove it.
Winners will also receive:
And it’s not just the winners. All Vibeathon participants will receive one month of premium Replit access to continue building beyond the competition.

Start on Day 1 of LegalTechTalk 2026, 17 June with a 20-minute briefing on the Marquee Stage, then head straight to the dedicated Vibeathon zone on the exhibition floor.
There, you can join live demos, drop into guided sessions, and build using Replit at your own pace across the competition.
To be considered by the judges, you must submit your prototype by 12pm on Friday 18 June.
Upload your project to vibecode.law before the deadline, and share periodic progress updates throughout the day.
Throughout the vibeathon, our judges – made up of senior leaders from top law firms, tech, and consulting – will be checking in with teams and reviewing progress.
Your solution will be evaluated on:
Innovation – Are you rethinking what’s possible?
Feasibility – Can it be realistically implemented?
Impact – Will it drive real change in the legal industry?
Anyone. If you’ve got an idea (and a ticket to LegalTechTalk 2026) you’re in!
Just an idea, your laptop and a willingness to experiment. We’ll provide access to tools, demos, and guidance throughout.
