Build your programming skills with one-to-one support at this free Codebar workshop in Brighton on 27 October 2026. Designed for beginner and intermediate learners, this in-person session offers a safe, supportive place to learn at your own pace. Rather than following a single class-wide lesson, you can work on your own course or coding project with guidance from a volunteer coach. Codebar aims to match each student with the right coach for one-to-one help, subject to availability, so you can focus on the problems and skills most relevant to you. What to expect The evening combines informal social time with focused, hands-on coding: - 6:30pm: Arrive, meet the group and share pizza - 7pm–9pm: Work on your course or project with coaching support - After 9pm: An optional pub visit for anyone who would like to continue the conversation This is a practical workshop rather than a programme of talks. Bring something you want to learn, practise or build, and use the coding session to make progress in a welcoming environment. The individual format gives newer programmers space to ask questions without having to keep pace with a large class, while intermediate learners can bring more specific challenges or projects. The event also welcomes volunteer coaches. If you have programming knowledge and experience to share, you can attend to support students, answer questions and help someone work through their course or project. It is an opportunity to contribute to Brighton’s coding community while developing your own mentoring skills. Venue and food The workshop runs from 6:30pm to 9pm on Tuesday 27 October 2026 at dabapps, Nile House, Nile Street, Brighton, BN1 1HW. Pizza is provided at the start of the evening, with vegetarian and vegan options. Attendees should add any other dietary requirements to their Codebar profile so the organisers can make sure there is something suitable in the selection. Places are free, but advance sign-up is required. Whether you are taking your first steps in programming, developing an existing project or offering your time as a coach, this workshop provides a friendly setting for learning through direct, practical support.

Mexico AI in Media Forum 2026 returns to Mexico City to address one of the most pressing questions facing journalism today: how can newsrooms strategically adopt artificial intelligence while preserving editorial integrity, audience trust, and journalistic values? This forum brings together media directors, editors-in-chief, managing editors, and digital transformation leaders to examine the real organisational and editorial impacts of AI adoption. What to expect The forum centres on eight strategic themes that reflect the current state of AI in newsrooms. AI in content creation explores how generative tools can support editorial production without compromising quality or trust. Sessions on generative search tackle how AI-powered search engines are fundamentally changing content visibility, traffic patterns, and distribution strategies — a critical concern as traditional search evolves. Data-driven storytelling sessions demonstrate how newsrooms are combining data analysis, visualisation, and AI to create compelling editorial narratives. The agent collaboration in the LLM era track examines new workflows emerging between journalists, editors, and AI systems, moving beyond simple automation to genuine human-AI partnership in the editorial process. AI governance is a cornerstone theme, addressing the frameworks and policies media organisations need to adopt AI responsibly. The forum explores what it means to become an AI-first newsroom — the cultural and strategic shifts required to embed AI across the organisation rather than treating it as a peripheral technology. Critical sessions on AI and disinformation examine the editorial risks posed by synthetic content, deepfakes, and manipulated media, alongside practical responses newsrooms can implement. The closing theme, the next chapter for AI and editors, looks ahead to the strategic decisions that will shape newsroom leadership in the coming years. Who should attend This event is designed for media executives and senior editorial leaders — directors, editors-in-chief, managing editors, section editors, and newsroom leaders navigating AI transformation. Digital journalists, data scientists, AI specialists, and teams working across product, technology, and editorial strategy will find sessions directly relevant to their work.
