"The Montevideo Video Tech Summer Camp was a wonderful mix of discussions on the video industry and cultural experiences. We solved problems, shared ideas, and made lifelong friendships. It's a truly unique event, offering opportunities to learn from the Qualabs team and other attendees. You'll learn new things, make new friends, and experience great culture firsthand. And don't forget to try a Chivito; it'll change your life."
Principal Software Engineer at Paramount
"I wouldn’t change anything about Summer Camp, except that I left too early! While I so much enjoyed all the experiences I participated in, my favorite part was the events and interactions at the Qualabs offices. Bringing the idea of the Common Media Library to life this year has been an incredible journey filled with pride and accomplishment. Meeting face-to-face with the developers contributing to my project and interacting with such a strong developer community halfway around the world was invaluable. The mix of activities, talks, and working sessions was truly unique, and everyone I met was kind and welcoming. I whole heartedly recommend this event to anyone in the video tech industry! The Summer Camp added tremendous value to the community, and I am grateful for everyone's contributions."
Subject Matter Expert in QOE, CDN, and Live Operations at SVTA
"What we experienced went beyond expectations. Not only was it fun to be part of tech meetups, speak to university students, and learn about other common media library-type projects, but we also got an in-depth tour of Uruguay and its culture. We enjoyed ourselves, mind, body, and soul. I'd love to recommend you guys joining the next summer camp and experiencing their hospitality and intellectual enthusiasm."
Software Engineer at Nimble Ape
"The motto for the event was 'Connect through the power of collaboration', and I think it captures perfectly the essence of the whole experience. We started working together on an ambitious project, got to know each other in person and made friends sharing a mate. We believe that open source projects greatly benefit from a close-knit, friendly community. Events like this are what create and cement these communities, and we're very proud to have been part of this from the start."
Media and Video Architect at Bitmovin
"The experience at the Summer Camp was inspiring and enriching. I worked on Open Source projects and was part of an active community. Starting a project from scratch and living different experiences at Qualabs was amazing. The hospitality was impeccable and exceeded my expectations. I totally recommend the Summer Camp to network and grow professionally without losing sight of community development and video."
