We are confident that the program will provide valuable insights and a thought-provoking experience for all attendees.\n\nIn its first edition, it brought over 2.2k people from all over the world, becoming one of the largest Ethereum events in Europe and one of the few with content in three languages (English, Spanish, Catalan). The last edition had a focus on education, innovation, culture, art, and creating positive social impact. \n\nThis year we plan to have a solarpunk and lunarpunk conference + hackathon with the following tracks:\n\n1. Culture & Art\n2. Web3 Social\n3. DAOs\n4. DeFi & Dapps\n5. Metaverse & Gaming\n6. Public Goods, Impact, Education\n7. Infrastructure & Ethereum Scalability\n8. Privacy ZK\n\nBeyond the traditional conference sessions and the hackathon, we are excited to create again like last year, an immersive experience that merges music, digital art, and interactive activities into the event. We will be providing co-working spaces and other areas for attendees to participate in activities such as yoga, mindfulness, and sound healing, creating a holistic and well-rounded experience.\n\nETHBarcelona is not like any other conference, bringing a unique, uplifting vibe to the community to keep building and solving the many difficult technical and social layer challenges. This was accomplished last year with the grass stages, impact dedicated sponsor area, chill room, and live music at all times. We will continue to innovate on the experience that fosters the best of vibes :)\n\nWe can’t really describe the vibe and the quality of the event with words. The videos help, but even they don’t do full justice. Take a look here: https://www.youtube.com/@ethbarcelona\n\n\nETHBarcelona contributes to significant public good generation in multiple ways: \n\nEducation:\nAt the most comprehensive level, the conference is all about education, a critical public good to catalyze the generation of all others. An entire track of speakers and workshops will be dedicated to highlighting Public Goods specific projects. All the talks will also be live-streamed, recorded, and shared on YouTube to extend this education to those remote and unable to join the talks live as well. Additionally, any tech providers we work with to enhance the conference experience we hope to be open sourced as well.\n\nSome specific examples from last year:\n1. Public Goods Panel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sJsXISPeI8&list=PLM2PlpkPyjSFCbSIQ0b_vGJQEMJ_GRvUv\n\n2. Oportunidades y retos para las mujeres de habla hispana:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QLMeueougc&list=PLM2PlpkPyjSFCbSIQ0b_vGJQEMJ_GRvUv&index=19\n\n3. Interview from Scott Moore of Gitcoin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tj5K9OnfTOw&t\n\nDiversity and Community Building:\nWe also want to continue to address the problem that in our space most of the web3 events are bringing mostly males. We brought huge diversity to our last edition where almost 40% of the attendees were women and 50% of the speakers (https://ethbarcelona.com/speaker). \n\nWe also brought a huge amount of new potential builders and participants into our ecosystem by partnering up with multiple universities and bootcamp schools. For every ticket sold, we gave free tickets to students and to people that want to contribute to the space but might not have the means to afford a ticket.\n\nSustainability:\nAs with last year's event, we want to continue being environmentally friendly through a plastic-free policy and offsetting our carbon footprint.\n\nWe will also continue collaborating with the Ethereum Foundation to incorporate Quadratic Funding to distribute a pool of proceeds from ticket sales and matching donations to impact organizations\n\nCurrent Status and Milestones: \nAs mentioned, we already completed the inaugural edition of ETHBarcelona with great success in 2022, so much so that leaders in the space such as Nader from the AAVE/Lens team tweeted to be “blown away [...], cemented already in [his] mind as a top tier event” ( https://twitter.com/dabit3/status/1546269218227863553).\n\nNow, we have begun the process to call for speakers, workshop moderators, cultural experience partners, and hackathon organizers.\nWe already have around 300 applications for speakers, and we are still about 3 months away from the event. Last year we had 700 applications.\n\nThis year we are also taking a special focus on attracting builders with the hackathon. We already have a telegram group of over 700, mostly engineering students, of which over 400 have already submitted applications for free tickets.\n\nThe summarized roadmap and milestones surrounding the event is as follows:\n\nFebruary - April:\n-- Sponsors outreach and confirmation\n-- Partner outreach and confirmation\n-- Call for speakers, workshop moderators\n-- Call for hackers, mentors, judges\n-- Call For impact projects\n\nApril - June:\n-- Ticket sales\n-- Content curation (speakers, workshops)\n-- Curation of hackathon bounties\n\nJuly 5-7: ETHBarcelona Conference\n\nJuly 7-9: ETHBarcelona Hackathon\n\nJuly 9-31st:\n--Donation voting and distribution to impact projects (QF round again together with the Ethereum Foundation)\n-- Event Recap Communications\n\n\nTeam Members:\nWe are a group of human enthusiasts, passionate about the Ethereum community and inspired by the intersection of art, altruism, activism, and of course decentralization. The team is composed of founders, contributors of different projects, organizers of other ETH events, and even organizers of top festivals like Primavera Sound and Sonar.\n\nManu Alzuru - Conference Director (https://twitter.com/ManuAlzuru)\nHyper-connected with robust past experiences to lead all aspects of event organization including, marketing, fundraising, content curation, and creative direction.
