Summer Projects
November 2026 – January 2027
A challenge someone lives every day, turned into an open-source project by the community over three months. The track we have been running and polishing since 2023.
Innovation Track
November 2026 – January 2027
The same idea on the business side: the challenges our industry faces today, turned into proofs of concept. Brand new for 2027, for first-time founders and for people from across media.

In their words
Ing-Ing Yen
“Montevideo is beautiful, the people are so nice and warm and welcoming — and the vibe is just great.”
Barry Owen
“There’s way more things to do than just the US, London, New York, San Francisco. It’s a great community and it exists elsewhere too.”
Past editions
It’s been so great meeting people from all over the world, actually coming down to Uruguay to be open, have conversations about tech, about video. It’s been really fun. We’ve had a lot of local flavour here — and it’s been one of the best weeks in the industry. It’s better than NAB.
James Hynard
Business Development Manager at castLabs
Getting to interact and talk to people within the industry that I normally don’t get to see, in a very relaxed scenario, is completely priceless. Getting to describe all the problems and get to know more about what people are dealing with — because in the end we were all dealing with the same exact issues.
Olga Kornienko
COO & Co-founder at EZDRM
I hoped it would be close to the wonderful experience I had last time, and it exceeded that! I got to spend more time with the team, actually collaborating on one of the selected projects: Server-guided Ads. There was just so much energy this year. Repeat folks came back, we reconnected. The whole thing grew into something bigger, better, and even more exciting. It’s a beautiful match of tech, culture, and amazing people. All in an environment that really fosters connection. That’s a win-win.
My expectation was to build connections in a more intimate environment — with professionals and friends in the industry. I also wanted to find opportunities to share my knowledge and enjoy. But this has far exceeded my expectations. It’s been enlightening, empowering — and deeply memorable. I’ll definitely come back and bring more people. This is an opportunity to do something not just for your job, but for yourself and your career — something beyond your current role.
We have been having an absolutely incredible time… I never had thought that like Latinos and open source fit together so beautifully, it’s such a powerful combo! The community and the passion to learn and work together has been the highlight of my career. It’s been a week now of hanging out with friends, learning, coding, tours, beach trips... When I started in software 5 years ago, I could never — even in my wildest dreams — have come up with something like this.
This is my second time at Montevideo Summer Camp, and once again, it’s been an amazing week! I was really looking forward to reconnecting with people, the mix of professional networking, learning about new technologies, working on projects, and just making friends. This year felt like a refined, more powerful version of something already great. I’ll definitely keep spreading the gospel of Montevideo Summer Camp. If you work in video and want to learn, connect and create, this is the place to be.
