Lesson plan
SAPO Codebits
SAPO Codebits, also known simply as Codebits, was a conference held in Lisbon from 2007 to 2014, focused on computing and light-hearted geek culture content for a highly technical audience. It was organized by SAPO which, besides a news media brand, was also an internet-focused R&D division of Portugal Telecom at the time. Codebits had a 48-hour hackathon at its core, but the number of talks and entertainment activities increased steadily over the years, along with the number of seats, attracting an increasing number of international attendees and speakers. At this point it was as much of a festival as it was a conference. In 2015, Portugal Telecom was acquired by Altice, SAPO's mission changed, and Codebits was discontinued after seven editions. In 2016, the Codebits format was revived outside SAPO under the name Pixels Camp. Pixels Camp ran for three more editions until the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
