The 7th Ethereum Community Conference (EthCC) has begun today in Brussels, bringing the blockchain community together in one of the most prominent gatherings of the year.
Organised by Ethereum France, EthCC 7 runs from July 8-11, with a number of high-profile conferences, networking opportunities and workshops centred on the latest developments concerning the Ethereum blockchain and the industry at large.
Featuring over 350+ speakers, tickets for EthCC 7 started at €125 per day. As a non-profit event, any revenue beyond that which covers costs will be redistributed within the Ethereum ecosystem.
Who is speaking at EthCC 7?
With over 350 speaking on topics including onboarding, NFTs, security, developer tools, ZK tech and many more, there’s a plethora of thought leaders sharing their latest progress.
EthCC 7 will see a raft of industry heavyweights take the stage, including Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, Starkware President Eli Ben-Sasson, and SKALE Labs CEO Jack O’Holleran.
On top of their speaking engagement, a number of these figures will also lead a series of conferences and workshops – catering to the full spectrum of blockchain understanding – on a range of subjects, including global regulatory perspectives, privacy, decentralised finance and more.
