ETHWarsaw,
web3
conference
and
hackathon
organized
by
Ethereum
enthusiasts,
is
set
to
return
for
its
highly
anticipated
third
edition.
Scheduled
to
take
place
from
September
5th
to
8th,
2024,
in
Warsaw,
Poland,
the
event
will
once
again
bring
together
a
global
community
of
builders,
founders,
and
educators
in
the
web3
space.

Building
on
the
success
of
previous
years,
ETHWarsaw
2023
attracted
over
1,000
participants
and
hosted
more
than
200
hackers
competing
for
nearly
$70,000
in
prizes.
The
event
also
introduced

Warsaw
Blockchain
Week,
Poland’s
largest
blockchain
gathering,
and
EthWarsawVC,
a
one-day
program
connecting
venture
funds
with
promising
blockchain
projects.
Due
to
strong
community
support,
both
events
will
return
for
the
2024
edition.

“After
two
successful
editions,
we’ve
found
a
formula
that
works
and
grows
organically
each
year.
That’s
why
we’re
maintaining
the
same
format
and
keeping
the
audience
size
intimate,
especially
since
recent
feedback
suggests
that
as
events
grow
in
size,
the
quality
can
suffer,”

said
Paulina
Joskow,
co-founder
of
ETHWarsaw.

She
continued,
“That
said,
the
third
edition
will
bring
some
changes.
With
the
potential
onset
of
a
bull
market,
we
anticipate
rapid
growth,
attracting
investors,
customers,
and
significant
capital.
However,
this
also
brings
the
risk
of
subpar
products
and
scams.
It’s
crucial
to
differentiate
between
the
good
and
the
harmful,
understand
the
risks,
and
always
build
responsibly.
This
is
the
core
message
we
want
to
emphasize
at
this
year’s
conference.”

Monika
Zajac,
co-founder
of
ETHWarsaw,
added,
“We
also
want
to
challenge
the
stereotype
that
only
developers
and
‘crypto-bros’
are
interested
in
blockchain.
Our
goal
is
to
showcase
the
diverse
faces
and
backgrounds
within
the
community
and
ultimately
lower
the
barriers
to
entry.
This
includes
highlighting
efforts
to
simplify
onboarding,
clearly
communicate
product
values,
provide
supportive
infrastructure,
and
offer
quality
education
to
accelerate
progress.”

ETHWarsaw
is
designed
to
cater
to
both
seasoned
professionals
and
newcomers
to
the
web3
space,
offering
valuable
insights
for
developers,
non-technical
talent,
and
students
alike.
