RTC.ON is a developer conference focused on sharing expertise in the WebRTC, streaming & AI development areas. For the third edition of the conference, we've prepared one day dedicated to practical workshops and two days full of exciting talks by multimedia devs. And a boat afterparty to top it all off, of course!

Training day

Multimedia 101

Agenda:
‍1. Digital audio and video representation.
2. Audio and video coding algorithms.
3. Containers vs codecs.
4. Network protocols in multimedia: UDP, TCP, QUIC.
5. Basics of multimedia protocols: WebRTC, HLS/DASH, RTMP, RTSP, RTP.
6. Types of multimedia systems: video on demand (vod), real-time/interactive communication, broadcasting.*

*The final agenda may vary ad we’ll try to adjust it to the attendees’ level of experience and knowledge.

Conference day

Talks & networking

The highlight of the event! We invite you for a day full of presentations by multimedia professionals, who will share their experience and knowledge. Conference day is also perfect for networking and meeting new people.

Check out the line-up here

Hackathon day

Workshops, hackathon & afterparty

On Saturday, we invite you to Software Mansion's office where we offer you a comfortable space for coding, food, drinks and multimedia experts to help you with any challanges you encounter. You can come to work on your own project or build a one proposed by us. But, there’s more! You can take part in on of the workshops prepared by Membrane team:

Introduction to the Elixir programming language & Membrane framework
Real-time dynamic video compositing
Jellyfish in practice

Each workshop will take around 2 hours. You can then join others at the hackathon and use this newly acquired knowledge in your project. We'll finish the day with afterparty!

Important! You don’t have to buy a separate ticket for that day. Hackathon Day and Afterparty are included in the Combo and Conference tickets. You can sign up for specific workshop at later stage - we will contact every ticket holder personally.

Main themes in the 2024 edition

Generative AI in Computer Vision

Description:
Dive deeper into the world of Generative AI in Computer Vision! We will start with a solid theoretical foundation in Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), followed by practical training of a simple GAN. Then, explore the principles of diffusion models and get hands-on experience by implementing and training a simple diffusion model. This course is your pathway to mastering the complex and fascinating field of generative AI.
Level: Advanced (wyroznic)

AI Image Processing

During this workshop, we’ll teach you how to:
- create and train your own AI model in python,
- serve the model as API,
- optimize AI models for real time use cases,
- export and optimize the model to python-independent format,
- deploy model offline in browsers on edge devices,
- find, download and use pre-trained models.

*The final agenda may vary and we’ll try to adjust it to the attendees’ level of experience and knowledge.

Organizers

Software Mansion is a software development agency based in Kraków, Poland. We’re specialized in building open-source technologies and developers tools.
‍
We’ve been working with multimedia systems for a long time. Some of the things we've created include Fishjam, Smelter, Membrane, or Elixir WebRTC. And that's not all there is!

We also know a thing or two about organizing great events! We're organizers of App.js Conf - one of the biggest React Native conferences in Europe.
