Qualabs backs NAB Show 2026 and FOKUS Media Web Symposium
Qualabs highlights its involvement in the video tech community through participation in industry events like NAB Show 2026 and FOKUS Media Web Symposium, and by organizing and supporting various video technology meetups globally. The company emphasizes its contributions to open-source projects, including CMCD Validator, CMCD Video.js Plugin, WebRTC Meetup Platform, Common Media Library, and CMAF HAM, fostering collaboration among video engineers.
Key Takeaways
- NAB Show 2026 runs April 17-23 in Las Vegas, where Qualabs says it will be present to connect on video tech opportunities.
- The 13th FOKUS Media Web Symposium takes place June 16-17 in Berlin, hosted by Fraunhofer FOKUS and focused on Internet-based media delivery.
- Qualabs lists open-source projects including CMCD Validator, CMCD Video.js Plugin, WebRTC Meetup Platform, Common Media Library, and CMAF HAM.
- The community page links to meetups in Montevideo, Barcelona, London, Portland, Berlin, Kitchener-Waterloo, New York City, and Sydney.
- Will Law of Akamai praises Qualabs as “CMCD experts and core contributors” and cites its Summer Camps as improving QoE for end users.
Why It Matters
Qualabs is signaling that its role in streaming video goes beyond client work: it is investing in event presence, meetups, and open-source tools that touch CMCD, WebRTC, and CMAF/HLS-DASH interoperability. That puts the company in the middle of a broader engineering community that includes Fraunhofer FOKUS, Akamai, EZDRM, AWS, Bitmovin, and Dolby. The clearest near-term signal to watch is whether those 2026 events produce new talks, demos, or project updates tied to CMCD Validator, CMCD Video.js Plugin, or Common Media Library.
