Hacks/Hackers AI x Journalism Summit 2027
The third annual AI x Journalism Summit is two days for journalists, technologists and the people building what comes next.
We have room for a few more people this time, but space is limited, so get your ticket early.
Every session is 60 minutes and built to leave you with something you can use: a workflow, a tool, a decision someone else already made and what it cost them. We're also planning a few surprises to make the summit even more interactive.
What we'll cover
Adopt: Tools in production now, and what the people who built them learned, including what didn't work.
Govern: Governance, auditing and ethics for AI, in collaboration with the Poynter Institute.
Sustain: Revenue, licensing, audience, costs and staffing.
Frontier: Technologies that haven't reached newsrooms yet.
How sessions run
Workshops: Bring a laptop and build something in small groups.
Masterclasses: Go deep on one topic or skill.
Workshops and masterclasses are marked beginner, intermediate or advanced.
Case studies: One newsroom walks through one project, start to finish.
Debates: Two or more sides of an unsettled question, on stage.
Panels: Our least favorite option, but convince us if you have something very compelling.
Want to lead a session? Pitch it here. We start reviewing pitches Jan. 15 and reply by the end of February.
Thanks to the Lenfest Institute for Journalism as a returning sponsor, and to the Poynter Institute, which leads the Govern track as our governance, ethics and AI literacy partner.
