[[Image:SAPO Codebits logo.jpg|thumb|Codebits logo in 2009.|180x180px]]'''SAPO Codebits''', also known simply as '''Codebits''', was a conference held in [[Lisbon]] from 2007 to 2014, focused on computing and light-hearted [[geek|geek culture]] content for a highly technical audience. It was organized by SAPO which, besides a news media brand, was also an internet-focused [[Research and development|R&D]] division of [[Portugal Telecom]] at the time.[[File:Codebits Logo 2014.png|alt=SAPO Codebits logo in 2014|thumb|Codebits logo in 2014, when SAPO's "frog" logo got replaced by the event's mascot.|180x180px]]Codebits had a 48-hour [[hackathon]] at its core, but the number of talks and entertainment activities increased steadily over the years, along with the number of seats, attracting an increasing number of international attendees and speakers. At this point it was as much of a festival as it was a conference.[[File:Pixels Camp logo.jpeg|alt=Pixels Camp logo|thumb|180x180px|In 2016, Codebits was rebooted outside SAPO under the name Pixels Camp.]]
In 2015, Portugal Telecom was acquired by [[Altice (company)|Altice]],<ref>{{Cite web|date=2015-06-03|title=Altice closes €5.8B PT Portugal deal|url=https://www.mobileworldlive.com/featured-content/home-banner/altice-closes-pt-portugal-deal|access-date=2021-10-20|website=Mobile World Live|language=en-GB}}</ref> SAPO's mission changed, and Codebits was discontinued after seven editions. In 2016, the Codebits format was revived outside SAPO under the name [[#Reboot as Pixels Camp|Pixels Camp]]. Pixels Camp ran for three more editions until the onset of the [[COVID-19]] pandemic.
