HackDay Buenos Aires is part of a series of International hackathons organized by the HackDay Foundation, aimed at fostering the development of technology start-ups in select cities around the globe. The event will take place at MercadoLibre's offices in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on May 12-13 2012.

The event registration will start at 11am on Saturday, May 12, and will run non-stop through the night, finishing on Sunday 1pm, followed by the demo of the hacks at 2pm and the selection of the five finalists.

Finalists will be invited to a private event on May 18th at NXTP Labs, one of Latin America's leading incubators, where they will present their "hacks" as potential new start-ups to a panel of Industry leading VCs and tech executives. The judges will select the winner of the $4,000 grand prize based on its potential to become a full-fledged technology company.

Food and beverage will be available throughout the event for the participants and attendees. The event is meant to be a celebration of the digital culture, and serve as a platform for the growth and innovation of the local technology community.
