MediaHackDay: developing media and IT projects

May 15-16, 2010 in St. Petersburg will be held the next event in the format HackDay - MediaHackday .
HackDay is two days of work, during which participants take a decisive step from discussing ideas to their practical implementation. The ultimate goal of each HackDay is to develop prototypes or working versions of new projects. This time HackDay will be devoted to developments in the field of media and content. It can be both projects from the media sphere, and traditional IT projects .

MediaHackDay - this is the fourth event HackDay, the hallmark of which was the motto "from idea to prototype over the weekend." At past meetings, the main focus of work was the creation of projects in the field of IT, and the weekend of February was given to the development of film and video.

The HackDay format was developed in Silicon Valley in 2005. Now similar meetings of developers spread and are popular around the world. At HackDay, you can come up with ready-made ideas, for the implementation of which they did not have time, and put together a team directly at HackDay, or you can join the finished one. Finally, you can start participating from one of the master classes and create a new project based on them.

HackDay is a place and time to work on real projects in the most creative atmosphere.
It is important for us not only to hold a separate event, but also to provide participants with the opportunity to meet regularly and create more and more new projects in various fields: from IT and media, to movies and music.
In addition, such meetings help expand the communicative capabilities of specialists in their fields and form an active community in St. Petersburg that will be able to implement the most innovative projects and ideas that most often arise at the intersection of areas.

In St. Petersburg, each HackDay event becomes an important event, past meetings gathered more than 300 active participants , and more than 25 completed projects took part in the demofest. The events are also widely reported in the media (reports on the First Channel and on the STO channel, materials in Business Petersburg, Chaskor and many other publications).

MediaHackDay is intended as a platform for the implementation of innovative ideas in the field of journalism, online and mobile media. Both professionals and amateurs working with the media or having a relationship with media or IT projects are invited to participate in MediaHackDay.
