LabWeek: A Decentralized Conference
LabWeek23 is a week of events for the Protocol Labs Network and community to connect in person to share progress on projects and research, exchange knowledge and make in-depth connections. The decentralized format is a proven way for PLN teams to host varied events, and for attendees to have the freedom to choose their own adventure. These include curated events, research-focused seminars, engineering workshops, summits, unconferences, happy hours, and more.
Each event will be organized by leading experts in the domain and will bring together other experts and specialists to create active and in-depth discussions. The goal is to make real progress and advancement in each of the domains covered by the events at LabWeek23 and drive innovation and breakthroughs in computing. We encourage domain experts to host an event or register to speak.
