    2026 began with the energy that defines us: community, technology, and meaningful connections. On January 28th, we celebrated our first sponsorship of the year, supporting the MedellínJS Community meetup in Medellín, Colombia.

    This event marks the beginning of a year full of exciting opportunities for Howdy: more gatherings, stronger collaboration with tech communities, and an agenda of meetups, sponsorships, and events that will continue to strengthen our presence within the global tech ecosystem.

  1. Medellín: innovation, talent, and community

    2. Choosing MedellínJS for our first sponsorship of 2026 was no coincidence. It is one of the many cities in the region where Howdy also has a presence, connecting with incredible talent and actively contributing to the industry’s growth.

    Being part of MedellínJS was a natural way to continue supporting spaces where technology is experienced through community.

  2. An inspiring panel: AI, Open Source, and the future of development

    3. The meetup featured a standout panel led by Julián David, Sr. Full Stack Engineer, who delivered a powerful talk: “La IA iguala el campo de juego: Open Source vs SaaS pagos”.

    A timely and relevant conversation that sparked idea-sharing and reinforced the importance of creating spaces to discuss the topics transforming the industry.

  3. A 5/5 experience and meaningful connections

    4. The event was a success both in production and logistics, achieving an overall satisfaction score of 5/5.

    And most importantly, the feedback we received reflects the real impact of being present:

    “It was a pleasure meeting you yesterday at MedellínJS. I really enjoyed learning more about Howdy—your culture and energy are amazing”. Isabella.

    “It was really great to connect with others in the industry. We definitely need more events like this, especially hosted by international companies”. Mateo.

  4. The first of many.

    5. This sponsorship in Medellín was just the first of many to come this year. At Howdy, we believe in the power of community and in building bridges between talent, innovation, and global opportunities.

    2026 is only just beginning, and it’s bringing more events, more partnerships, and more moments to keep connecting.

    See you at the next meetup.
