Sandboxes
Innovation Labs
The Sandboxes took place on Friday, October 3rd, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, before the opening of Day 2 of Media Party.
This year, we are excited to introduce an innovative initiative: the launch of four experimentation and development spaces, the โSandboxes.โ
These are co-creation labs designed for professionals to prototype, collaborate, and build the future of journalism and digital communication in a focused, pressure-free environment.
These spaces offer a unique opportunity to connect and create.
Truth Tech: Technologies for "Reality" Verification
Coordinated by: Sonia Jalfin, Saลกa Vuฤiniฤ and Mariano Blejman.
ยญObjective: To explore the use of ethical AI, blockchain, and cybersecurity to support the credibility and transparency of information in an era of disinformation. Aimed at investigative journalists, fact-checkers, and developers.
EdTech for the Communicators of the Future
Coordinated by: Karen De la Hoz, Martรญn Parselis, and Mariana Berruezo.
Objective: A conversation about growing talent in the media ecosystem and imagining whatโs next โ exploring future skills, mindsets, and practices for tomorrowโs communicators. A must-attend for trainers, newsroom leads, media execs, and content strategists.
Ad Tech: Brands, Media, Monetization, and Magic
Coordinated by: Ernesto Martelli
Objective: To tackle the challenge of generating relevance, engagement, and tangible value in a context of uncertainty. We will analyze how AI multiplies creative opportunities and redefines communication and monetization strategies. Ideal for marketing, advertising, and business development professionals.
Internet Pulse: Visualizing the Health of the Network
Coordinated by: Juan Peirano (Internet Society).
Objective: To experiment with Pulse's open data to transform complex information (unequal access, net neutrality) into practical knowledge and impactful visualizations.
*The Internet Pulse Sandbox will take place in two sessions: the first from 10:00 to 12:00, and the second from 12:45 to 14:45
