Tech Events in Porto

We are pleased to announce the Summer 2026 OAI Workshop – Open Source in the times of AI Native Networks.

This workshop presents an opportunity to pause and reflect on the role of open source at the time of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in cellular wireless.

OpenAirInterface (OAI) believes that open source creates value through collaboration and embracing the flexibility required to support a wide range of users and use cases. Its role in the emerging 6G systems is to build reference designs in sync with, and in support of, the ongoing standardization in 3GPP. OAI encourages building emulation tools for large-scale experimentation at a time when 6G/AI engines desperately need data for training as well as validation.

This edition of the OAI workshop will explore where open source creates value—and where it does not.

The workshop will bring together stakeholders from governments, academia, and industry to explore these questions and showcase how the community is advancing open, interoperable, and high-performance cellular networks.

The event is intended for those working with OAI and its community—whether developing features, integrating components, running experiments, or deploying solutions—as well as for those looking to engage more deeply with the platform. It also welcomes strategic thinkers with a vision for open source in the 5G/6G industry.

📍 Location: Devexperts Porto
🎤 Talk: “Patterns of Trust”
👩‍💻 Speaker: Maria “Majo” Castillo, Junior QA Engineer at Devexperts

Porto Tech Connect brings together tech professionals, leaders, and curious minds for an evening of insights, meaningful conversations, and high-quality networking.

This May edition will be hosted at Devexperts Porto and will feature a thought-provoking talk on one of the most underestimated drivers of success in tech: trust.

Quality is built by people — not just processes.

In this session, Maria “Majo” Castillo will explore how trust becomes the invisible framework behind every successful project. Great QAs don’t just find bugs — they recognize the human patterns that shape quality:

• How we listen
• How we communicate
• How we question
• How we respond to uncertainty

When we nurture these patterns, testing becomes connection, feedback becomes growth, and collaboration evolves into shared leadership.

Maria Castillo (Majo) is a Junior QA Engineer at Devexperts.

With a background in mathematics, nearly 10 years of teaching experience, and expertise in customer experience, she brings a deeply human-centered perspective to quality assurance. Her unique mix of logic and empathy makes quality not only structured — but profoundly human.

Porto Tech Connect is designed for meaningful networking.

✔ Meet tech professionals, founders, and team leaders
✔ Exchange ideas and practical insights
✔ Build authentic connections in a curated environment
✔ Expand your professional circle in Porto’s growing tech ecosystem

Expect valuable conversations, inspiring perspectives, and a community that believes leadership, diversity, and AI-driven innovation start with people.

We look forward to welcoming you for an inspiring evening in Porto.
