The famous Buenos Aires Media Party is happening next week! This year, the conference’s main focus will be AI, with a concentration in three key areas: ethics, security, and privacy. The three pillars of the conference are Product, Audience and Monetization.

Over 2,000 people attend the largest Hacks/Hackers gathering. It takes place from October 5-7 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and registration is free!
