API & AI Addicts Day is a one-day Madrid conference on 28 October 2026 for enthusiasts and professionals interested in APIs and artificial intelligence. APIs and AI in one focused event Taking place in Madrid, Spain, API & AI Addicts Day brings two closely connected areas of modern technology into the same room. The conference is designed for people who want to explore the relationship between APIs,the interfaces that allow software and services to communicate,and the rapidly evolving field of AI. As AI becomes embedded in more products and workflows, APIs play an important role in connecting models, applications, data and external services. By focusing on both subjects, this event offers attendees a dedicated setting in which to consider the technologies together rather than as separate disciplines. Who is it for? The conference brings together enthusiasts and professionals, making it relevant to anyone with an active interest in APIs or artificial intelligence. That may include software developers, technical practitioners, product builders and other technology professionals, as well as curious community members following developments across these fields. No specific experience level or prerequisites are stated on the event page. Likewise, detailed information about speakers and individual sessions has not yet been published, so prospective attendees should check the registration page for future programme updates. What to expect API & AI Addicts Day is presented as a one-day conference, giving participants a concentrated opportunity to engage with its dual focus. Its defining feature is the combination of API and AI communities: a useful meeting point for people interested in how intelligent capabilities connect with software products, platforms and wider technical systems. Key event details: - Date: 28 October 2026 - Location: Madrid, Spain - Format: One-day conference - Focus: APIs and artificial intelligence - Audience: Enthusiasts and professionals If APIs, AI or the overlap between them forms part of your work or interests, this Madrid conference offers a focused date for your 2026 calendar.

A 24-hour, in-person space cybersecurity hackathon in Madrid, building practical defences for Europe’s satellites, GPS and telecom networks. Build under pressure, solve a critical challenge THE SIGN 2.0 Space Cybersecurity Hackathon brings together specialists from across the space, cybersecurity and telecommunications sectors to address cyberattacks against critical infrastructure in orbit and on Earth. From 20:00 on 28 October to 20:00 on 29 October 2026, participants will have 24 hours to develop practical software or hardware solutions that strengthen the security of satellites, navigation systems and communications networks. This is an in-person, build-focused event rather than a conventional conference. The challenge is to turn technical expertise and ambitious ideas into working solutions within a tightly defined timeframe. Participants can expect to collaborate across disciplines, tackle security problems specific to the space environment and contribute to the wider resilience of Europe’s space assets. Who should take part? The hackathon is designed for people and organisations ready to work on demanding, real-world cybersecurity challenges, including: - Satellite engineers applying their knowledge to active security threats - Cybersecurity professionals and ethical hackers testing their skills on space-specific systems - Telecom experts focused on protecting communications infrastructure - Startups and technology pioneers developing bold, practical approaches - Space agencies, defence stakeholders and academic researchers working to improve European space resilience No particular experience level is stated, but the technical mission and 24-hour delivery format make this especially relevant to participants comfortable contributing specialist knowledge, building prototypes and working intensively with multidisciplinary teams.
