It is summer time, and what better way to mark the start of summer than with The Ethereum Community Conference (EthCC), the largest annual European Ethereum event focused on technology and community? This year’s EthCC will be held in Brussels instead of Paris due to the 2024 Olympic Games happening around the same time. As indicated by the organizers, it will be in a cooler and bigger venue, which means more people!
The Consensys family is excited to be in attendance, and this blog provides a rundown of all our Consensys side events and how you can participate in them. To stay up to date with any changes to these events, please keep an eye on our Event Hub.
