The virtual coding and regional judging event takes place over two days: September 2–3. Day 1 is a full day of coding; Day 2 includes presentations to the community and regional judging.

Os finalistas avançarão para a final presencial do Rocket 2026, prevista para ocorrer entre 3 e 5 de novembro. Durante a final, haverá dois dias completos de programação adicional.

O Rocket.Build é um evento importante da empresa, e a Rocket Software está disponibilizando o tempo e o espaço necessários para a inovação. Todos os participantes são incentivados a se planejar com antecedência, liberar suas agendas e ativar a notificação de ausência do escritório para que possam se concentrar totalmente durante o evento: 2 e 3 de setembro (programação e avaliação virtuais) e, para os finalistas, de 3 a 6 de novembro (finais presenciais, com data provisória).

Rocket Software employees should ensure their immediate supervisor is aware of their participation in advance.

As a remote-first company, we recognize that travel is not always possible. Virtual participation remains available. We continue to work toward a Rocket.Build experience that is as inclusive and collaborative as possible.

No. Special or additional equipment will not be provided at event locations. Please bring all equipment you need, including your laptop, keyboard, mouse, power source, and any other accessories.
