Virtual Labs Announces ETH Denver Workable Web3 Summit and Workable Hacker House

After much success at the Workable Web3 Summit at DevConnect Istanbul, we’re excited to announce that the Workable Web3 Summit is back for ETH Denver! In addition to our all day event, we are hosting a Workable Hacker House which will host up to 15 hackers. Manta Network and CoChilli are co hosting Workable along with sponsors and speakers from Decrypt, NodeKit, BuildersTribe, Animoca, DWF, Aztec, o(1) Labs, Harvard, and Yale Blockchain. The event will happen on February 29th in Downtown Denver and covers all topics from zero knowledge proofs to account abstraction to scalability. Register for tickets while early bird spots remain!

What is Workable?

The Workable Web3 Summit is about improving blockchain usability and scalability to bring about mainstream adoption. It answers the questions: “Why is Web3 not mainstream?” and “How do we get there?” 

The goal of Workable is to bring together industry leaders in the realms of user experience, scalability, smart accounts, MEV, zero knowledge proofs, gaming, and more. By enabling these conversations, we can begin to identify problems and propose solutions to critical UX and scalability drawbacks within Web3.

“Let’s Make Web3 Workable” is the rallying cry for making the value and experience of blockchain better than that of the traditional web.

Who will be there?

We are excited to co-host alongside Manta Network and CoChilli. Our strategic partnership has been instrumental to our successful 2024 start, and we plan to continue the momentum at ETH Denver. We are thrilled to present numerous panels and speakers over the course of the full day event, including the likes of Animoca, Decrypt, Blocto, NodeKit, ZeroGravity, BuildersTribe, DWF, Aztec, o(1) Labs, Aethos, Harvard and Yale Blockchain. As well as hackers who will pitch to a panel of investors and judges in the Workable Demo Day!

What is the Workable Hacker House?

We’re thrilled to announce a Hacker House as part of the Workable Web3 Summit. Housing is free for admitted hackers and will be provided from Feb. 28 through March 4. Over the course of the conference, hackers at the house will build using the Virtual Labs tech stack. An ideal project would be integrating an existing game with the Virtual Engine to remove all user frictions from the gameplay experience.

The best projects from the Hacker House will be invited to pitch to investors and a panel of judges at the Demo Day event. The Demo Day will be the first event of the day at the Workable Summit, and is your chance to see what real capital allocators and other founders think of your idea.
