This time next week Protocol Berg will be well underway!! We penned a post on what you can expect at v2, including some extra surprises on top of the speaker and workshop program 👀 Here's a refresher for those who may have missed it 👇

Protocol Berg isn’t your typical industry event✨ It’s free to attend, donation-backed, and entirely sponsor-free. The focus is on sharing work and research, learning from each other, and asking the real questions.

This year’s edition will be hosted inside the Colosseum, a restored 19th-century cinema in Prenzlauer Berg. Adding some old school cinema vibes (and popcorn) to the conversations 🍿

We have multiple rooms with back-to-back talks, workshops, and space for spontaneous whiteboard sessions so you can brainstorm with whoever you like, whenever you like 🧠

You’ll find talks and workshops on 👩‍💻 – Consensus protocols – Peer-to-peer networking – Distributed VMs – Open-source governance – Client diversity – Real-world infra challenges – Rollups, data availability, and so much more.

We’ll hear from people building across alllll the ecosystems: @ethereum.org , @ipfs.tech , Cosmos, Polkadot, Bitcoin and many others The goal: bring together those thinking seriously about decentralized tech, and how we build resilient systems at scale, together.

We’ll also have a small web3 library which explores the concept of infrastructure for different angles, from geopolitics, and philosophy, collaborative practices and technology. You can take a break and have a read 📚

Ever wonder what those weird sounds were in the first Protocol Berg videos? For the younger ones out there, that’s a typewriter Before computers, people used them to write papers. At v2, you’ll find one in the wild, so you can leave anonymous feedback or a guestbook entry the analog way.

There’ll also be a colouring book in case you want to decompress / just get creative / leave us a message / all of the above 🎨
