About us

Demuxed is simply engineers talking about video technology. After two three years of chatting about video at the SF Video Technology Meetup , we've decided it's time for an engineer-first event with quality technical talks about video. Our focus is on video delivered over the web, but topics cover anything from encoding to playback and more!

Who's organizing this?

Most of the boring work is done by folks from Mux (any resemblance in name is purely coincidental), but there was an amazing group of people from the meetup dubbed the "Braintrust." This crew gets together and talks through the submissions, argues heatedly over which talk submissions should make the final cut, and helps plan the final schedule.

This event is run with the help of the members of the SF Video Technology Meetup. We're incredibly lucky to have a community of engineers that work on some of the best video products on the web.

Our Guiding Principles

  • No Marketing

    Speakers are selected based on merit, not how much money their company paid. To be clear, that means speaking slots aren't for sale. Attendee information is also not for sale, and that includes any sponsors.

  • Affordable

    We want anyone in the industry to be able to come, keeping tickets reasonably priced through amazing sponsors and backing from our employers. Working on a great open source project that can't afford to send you? Please reach out and we'll find a ticket for you.

  • For Everyone in the Industry

    In keeping with our love for reasonable standards, we're adopting the Conf Code of Conduct for the event. If you have any questions or concerns, please speak to any of our volunteers, organizers, or email us directly.

  • Community

    We strive for high quality, technical content, but just as importantly we're trying to use these events to strengthen our community of video engineers, both in the Bay and at large.

After Party

When the dust has settled and the talks are done, Brightcove is hosting a conference party at Mr. Smith's within walking distance of Ellation. The conference schedule is pretty packed, so this is the perfect time to catch up with all your fellow attendees. We'll have heavy appetizers and an open bar until the tab runs out or the bar kicks us out.

The only thing you need to get in is your badge, so make sure to bring it with you! Plus ones are welcome, but they either need to meet you at the door to get a wristband or have a wristband in advance.
