The Journey

ETHDENVER has been a big part of life for many years. First getting involved in 2019, the journey started with throwing secret all-night parties within ETHDENVER, making lots of friends, presenting the work being developed, and meeting heroes who were working on things that were also inspiring. This initial involvement created deep connections within the Ethereum and Web3 community.

Since those early days, involvement has been extensive and multifaceted. Producing sister events, DJing the closing party, producing the SporkDAO token launch (the community DAO that owns ETHDENVER), renting equipment over the years, and being a supportive part of the community have all been part of this ongoing relationship with the world's largest and longest-running Ethereum hackathon and conference.

In 2025, this journey reached a new milestone with becoming ETHDENVER's creative steward, bringing the EthDome concept to life, a Makerspace DJ chill area and inspiration zone that became a safe zone and superheroes' hideout. Maintaining a very strong vibe and uplifting everybody who came into contact with it created a really, really, really special thing that embodied the spirit of ETHDENVER.

Early Involvement: Secret Parties & Community Building

First getting involved in 2019, the ETHDENVER journey started with throwing secret all-night parties within the event. These parties became a way to create deeper connections, build community, and bring people together in an intimate setting that complemented the larger conference experience.

Making Friends & Meeting Heroes

Through these early experiences, many friends were made, work was presented, and heroes were met, people who were working on things that were also inspiring. This created a foundation of relationships and connections that would continue to grow and evolve over the years, building a network within the Ethereum and Web3 community that became central to ongoing involvement with ETHDENVER.

Growing Involvement

Secret Party Production

Organized and produced secret all-night parties within ETHDENVER, creating intimate spaces for community building and connection. These events became a signature part of the ETHDENVER experience, bringing people together in ways that complemented the larger conference.

Work Presentation

Used ETHDENVER as a platform to present work being developed, sharing projects and ideas with the community. This created opportunities for feedback, collaboration, and connection with others working on similar or complementary projects.

Community Building

Built deep relationships within the Ethereum and Web3 community, making friends and meeting heroes who were working on inspiring projects. These connections became the foundation for ongoing involvement and collaboration.

Equipment Rentals

Provided equipment rentals to ETHDENVER over the years, supporting the event's technical needs and infrastructure. This practical support helped ensure events ran smoothly while building a relationship based on reliability and quality.

Major Contributions: Events, DJing & SporkDAO

Over the years, involvement with ETHDENVER has been extensive and multifaceted. Producing over 10 side events, bringing big music artists like The Polish Ambassador, Churub, Desert Dwellers, Wigglework, and Beats Antique to ETHDENVER, DJing the closing party, and producing the SporkDAO token launch have all been significant contributions to the community and the event itself.

SporkDAO Token Launch

Produced the SporkDAO token launch, which is the community DAO that owns ETHDENVER. This was a significant project that helped establish the governance structure for the event, creating a decentralized organization that allows the community to have ownership and decision-making power over ETHDENVER's future direction.

Key Contributions

10+ Side Events Produced

Produced over 10 side events over the years that complemented the main ETHDENVER conference, creating additional spaces for community gathering, networking, and celebration. These events expanded the ETHDENVER experience beyond the main conference venue and brought big music artists to ETHDENVER, including The Polish Ambassador, Churub, Desert Dwellers, Wigglework, Beats Antique, and many others. These side events created memorable experiences that enhanced the overall ETHDENVER community and culture.

Closing Party DJ

DJed the closing party, bringing music and energy to celebrate the end of ETHDENVER. This role created a memorable conclusion to the event, bringing the community together for one final celebration.

SporkDAO Production

Produced the SporkDAO token launch, helping establish the community DAO that owns ETHDENVER. This project created a governance structure that gives the community ownership and decision-making power over the event's future.

Ongoing Support

Been a supportive part of the community throughout the years, providing equipment rentals, production support, and creative contributions. This ongoing involvement has helped build a relationship based on reliability, quality, and commitment to the ETHDENVER community.

EthDome & Creative Stewardship: 2025

In 2025, the journey reached a new milestone with becoming ETHDENVER's creative steward. This role brought the opportunity to bring the EthDome concept to life, a Makerspace DJ chill area and inspiration zone that became a safe zone and superheroes' hideout.

A Really, Really, Really Special Thing

EthDome maintained a very strong vibe and uplifted everybody who came into contact with it. The space served as a Makerspace for creative work, a DJ chill area for music and relaxation, an inspiration zone for ideas and collaboration, a safe zone for people to feel comfortable and supported, and a superheroes' hideout, a place where the community's most dedicated contributors could gather, recharge, and connect. It was a really, really, really special thing that embodied the spirit of ETHDENVER.
