Media Party Buenos Aires — Open call for proposals (October 5–7 at Ciudad Cultural Konex)

Mariano Blejman

Media Party is calling for journalists, developers, entrepreneurs and civic hackers to apply to lead sessions at the 11th Buenos Aires edition from October 5–7. The deadline for workshops and lightning talk proposals is August 12, 2023.

The core of Media Party is media innovation. Some of the themes around this include: generative AI, AI ethics, AI security and privacy. Alongside that focus, we will also explore wider issues in journalism such as the evolving local news ecosystem, misinformation, climate change, internet access, creators economy, product thinking and mental health in a post-pandemic world.

We are looking for speakers, trainers and partners from:

* Speakers and trainers from the technology industry with an interest in solving problems relevant to the media industry and how these technologies impact democracy

* People doing research and experiments in industry, non-profit, and academia

* People and companies fighting against misinformation

* Organizations that advocates against internet censorship

* Those in the news media industry who are using or building AI tools

* Major platforms working on artificial intelligence issues and are interested in improving how societies are informed

* Creators economy: how the massive growth of independent influencers is affecting the way people get informed.

* Serendipity: Media Party is keen to open the door to new people of all kinds with related interests
