Ethereum Community Conference

About Ethereum Community Conference

Asseth is proud to announce that the Ethereum Community Conference is up for another edition the 5th, 6th and 7th of March 2019. EthCC 2018 lasted 3 days over 4 amphitheaters and a workshop room, had 700 attendees, 130 speakers (over 126 live streamed talks!), 50 volunteers and 80 invited students. This year, for what some may call the cryptowinter, we are aiming at doubling those numbers while keeping the conference as financially friendly as possible.

Wait a minute, what is Asseth ?!
Asseth is a French regulated non-profit that organises weekly free ethereum meetups and workshops since late 2015. It has more than 400 active members. Asseth also contributes actively to Ethereum France, various educational projects and open-source projects, translates technical papers in French (white/yellow/mauve-paper, Sharding faq…), and all sorts of ethereum-community centered content.

Being regulated means that we have to publish our books every year and the details of our revenue sources and bills are accessible on request to our members. You can check our post on EthCC 2018’s finance here, and also our crypto-friendly guide to Paris from last year here, which we will keep updated thanks to our community — feel free to contribute!

Double the numbers, like… twice as big?
Yes twice as big, in attendees, speakers etc! Hopefully twice as good as we expect to learn from last year and improve. We had outstanding members of our community coming from all over the world but we arguably didn’t reach enough among Asian projects last year. To tackle that, Asseth is getting the help of Cassandra Shi from the Ethereum Community Found. The amazing María Paula Fernández, Helena Flack and Fauve Altman are also supporting us.

We have opened a call for speakers a few days ago (You can apply too! Click here) and the least we can say is that the list is already growing fast: E.G. Galano, Christoph Jentzsch, Martin Lundfall, Vlad Zamfir, Matan Field, Nick Gheorghita, Jenna Zenk, Justin Drake, Vanessa Grellet, Jorge Izquierdo, Tyler Mulvihill, Kevin Owocki, Corbin Page, Nick Dodson, Eric Tang, Simona Pop, Dean Eigenmann, Lane Rettig, Ashley Tyson, Jacob Czepluch, Will Harborne, Rick Dudley, Hudson Jameson, Kavita Gupta…

Compared to last year, we will have more amphitheaters to host more talks but also more workshops. Some talks are likely to be very technical but we want to make sure we are able to properly on-board newcomers regardless of their background and bring attractive content to everyone. Consequently EthCC 2019 will feature the usual topics like Tokens (did anybody say Securities?) or Scalability but also a “from Zero to Hero” track dedicated to people that want to learn how Ethereum works. One track will let attendees deep dive into the development of Decentralized Applications while another one will also cover challenges concerning regulations and cryptoeconomics.

In addition, EthCC will be preceded by an Ethereum Magicians Gathering on Monday the 4th. Ongoing organisation for the Magicians’ Council of Paris is on going here with coordination from the great Tomislav Mamić.

This is going to be a week full of Ethereum events from the 4th to the 10th! Other events and other communities are kindly invited to let us know if they are planning blockchain gatherings. We have set up a collaborative website here: blockchainweek.fr. Notably the second annual Computational Law & Blockchain Festival will take place around those dates and of course stay tuned for some news from ETHGlobal.
