The hackathon will focus on turning ideas into functional, open-source prototypes centered on:Workflow Automation & Agentic Journalism: Designing AI-driven agents and workflows that streamline media production and assist newsrooms.The Content Independence in the Publisher Economy: Creating tools that support a sustainable, creator-friendly internet and help media organizations thrive on AI-driven platforms.Information Integrity & Verification: Developing technical solutions for synthetic-content detection, digital safety, and content authenticity."The hackathon is where ideas turn into real, scalable technology," noted the Media Party team. "By partnering with Cloudflare, we are putting cutting-edge cloud infrastructure and AI developer tooling directly into the hands of builders focused on the future of news and information integrity."“The agentic Internet is here,” said Chema Alonso, Vice President and Head of International Development at Cloudflare. “Cloudflare is excited to partner with Media Party to provide the infrastructure journalists, publishers, and other creators need to grow their work in this new era.”From Ideas to Impact: A Proven Track RecordMedia Party has convened over 12,000 participants and 200 global speakers across Latin America and North America over the past 13 years. Solutions born at Media Party hackathons regularly scale into real-world tools. For instance, Shepherd—a browser extension that detects bot-like behavior to protect digital forums—was built during the Media Party New York Hackathon, went on to win Columbia University’s Greater Good Challenge, and received $50,000 USD in grant funding.At BIT Habitat Barcelona, an estimated 100 selected builders will form multidisciplinary teams to build, pitch, and demo functional tools by the end of the day. Cloudflare will host a branded challenge track featuring special prizes tied to its developer ecosystem and AI platform.Event SummaryEvent: Media Party Barcelona 2026 Hackathon (Presented by Cloudflare)Date: September 9, 2026 (From 1pm to 7pm)Venue: BIT Habitat Barcelona — Edificio Ca l'Alier (Carrer de Pere IV, 362, Poblenou, Barcelona)Participants: ~100–120 software engineers, journalists, data scientists, and designersOfficial Portals: mediaparty.org |About Media PartyMedia Party is a global non-profit network at the intersection of journalism and technology.Born in Buenos Aires and expanding to New York and Barcelona, Media Party brings together media professionals, creators, entrepreneurs, and developers to improve information integrity and build sustainable tools for news production.About BIT Habitat BarcelonaFundació BIT Habitat (located at Ca l'Alier in Poblenou) is Barcelona’s urban innovation center, fostering technological initiatives that drive social, economic, and sustainable transformation.By registering, you agree that Media Party Barcelona may share your contact details and profile with Cloudflare Inc. to manage your participation in the hackathon, grant access to their tools/APIs, and process prize distribution.Contact:Email: production@mediaparty.orgWebsite: mediaparty.org - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/barcelona/media-party-hackathon-barcelona-powered-by-cloudflare/100001996009716794 - **Event Categories**: parties, entertainment, contests, it, hackathons, business, art, conferences, artificial-intelligence - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 7 hours - Location: BIT Habitat - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Barcelona - **state**: CT - **country**: Spain - **location**: BIT Habitat - **lat**: 41.4098355 - **long**: 2.2035822 - **full address**: BIT Habitat, 362 Carrer de Pere IV, Barcelona, Spain ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Media Party Hackathon @ Barcelona Powered by Cloudflare - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/ca10366370e80b160a4b54f5e12558e99c681169d9cbe75c224694e4bcfdf10f-rimg-w1200-h799-dca8a8a8-gmir.jpg?v=1786468110 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Media Party Hackathon @ Barcelona Powered by Cloudflare being held? - **A:** Media Party Hackathon @ Barcelona Powered by Cloudflare takes place on Wed, 09 Sep, 2026 at 01:00 pm to Wed, 09 Sep, 2026 at 08:00 pm at BIT Habitat, 362 Carrer de Pere IV, Barcelona, Spain. - **Q**: Who is organizing Media Party Hackathon @ Barcelona Powered by Cloudflare? - **A:** Media Party Hackathon @ Barcelona Powered by Cloudflare is organized by Media Party. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
