Events

Events is broken into four categories.

Upcoming events where one or more Blockstack member will attend an event to either sit on a panel, participate in a workshop or give a presentation.

University talks. These are events where a Blockstack member receives an invitation to give a talk on Blockstack or about a relevant topic that they have worked on and have garnered expertise. These events will assist with thought leadership.

Blockstack events & meetups are events or meetups hosted by either one or more Blocsktack member with the end goal to build community through, discussion, presentations, distribute free Blockstack promotional collateral (stickers, t-shirts, hoodies, backpacks, etc.), and social drinks following the event or meetup.
