2nd SpatialData hackathon was an in-person event organized by the SpatialData team (scverse) and Bioconductor that brought together expertise from different fields, including methods developers of a variety of tools for bioimaging, single-cell and spatial omics.
- Hotel Garden Inn Padova City Centre
- 14-16 April, 2026, Padua, Italy.
The purpose is to explore new directions to advance the field of spatial omics. By leveraging multiple programming languages, including Python, R, and JavaScript, the event focuses on four central hackathon tracks:
- R interoperability for SpatialData and OME-ZARR
- Accessibility, maintainability and performance of spatial omics visualization tools
- Design modernization for the SpatialData framework
- File formats and transformations (NGFF)
