Mate Talks Meetup

Mate Talks are relaxed, roundtable-style gatherings where we dive into the latest topics, trends, and insights shaping the video industry. In 2024, we introduced a fixed panel featuring industry friends to enrich each session with diverse perspectives and engaging conversations. These meetups are all about fostering meaningful discussions, exchanging knowledge, and exploring what’s next in video tech all while connecting with like-minded professionals.

And why “Mate”? 🧉
We always seek to share a piece of our culture in every connection! In Uruguay, mate is a classic tradition that brings people together, shared among friends in circles of conversation, stories, and deep discussions.
