If you’re curious about hosting an event at ETHPrague, then you’re in the right place. Because we’re not only going to show you where to host your ETH event in Prague, we’re going to give you advice on how to host an Ethereum event in general along the way.

Why Host an ETH Event in Prague

The mission statement of ETHPrague asks, “You decide whether we end up living in a dark authoritarian dystopia or a bright Solarpunk utopia.”

In short, it’s a bold event. It’s for true believers in Ethereum who want to be part of the movement and make a real difference.

ETHPrague – like the Ethereum community as a whole – is about freedom and decentralization. If you want to host an event that celebrates and contributes to that, you need to host an ETH event in Prague.

You’ll meet entrepreneurs, developers, students, builders, investors, and more. They’re coming together to create an occasion with an underground feel. So if your business or project could benefit from bringing these kinds of people together, then what are you waiting for?

What Kind of Events Can You Host at ETHPrague

So the emphasis on ETHPrague is hackathons and talks. They don’t want to set concrete boundaries. However, they prefer events that tackle sustainability, local economies & urban issues.

This is in line with the Solarpunk premise, with the organisers also favouring experiments over overt commercial projects. See below for examples of projects they have shortlisted:

Societal challenges:

  • Solutions through smart contracts
  • Solarpunk visions
  • Economies & Communities / DAOs

Ethereum stack:

  • Ethereum network operation (nodes & infra)
  • L2, Rollups & Interoperability
  • Utility contracts/dapps
  • Cryptography & Privacy perseverance tools

Hands-on workshops

  • Coding exercises (Solidity, Fe, Cairo, Circom, ZoKrates,…)
  • Technical walk-through (live demos)
  • HW hacking
  • DAO operations

Ethereum community:

  • EIP process
  • By & For Community initiatives
  • Impact visions

Talks that likely won’t make the cut:

  • commercial app showcases & updates
  • sales pitches
  • fundraising talks
