Lots of inspiring projects and progressive ideas were brought to life within the Meet and Code project. All of the finalists created award-worthy events, oriented on educating, developing and empowering a generation. Scheduled to take place in Budapest during the month of March, the annual Meet and Code Awards was hosted as a virtual event on May 12h 2020. As the world braces global curfews and regional lockdowns, the organizing team and partners have prioritized health and safety first.
