We are thrilled to announce that the Ethereum Magicians are coming to Paris! The Ethereum Magicians have collaborated with a bunch of supercool Ethereum folks to bring you the magical atmosphere with health and safety precautions in place. We will be hosting a full day conference with two tracks!

For a while the whole world has shut down as the COVID-19 pandemic hit almost every industry. The world has stopped operating for a while, people had to stay inside of their homes, locked down for weeks as the virus was spreading. As the physical world has shut down, we have become more and more immersed in an alternative world, the digital domain. Remote work has boomed more than ever before, and in its wake in-person meetings, lunches with colleagues, and all the ways we used to spend time with each other have turned into Zoom, Discord, and other platforms. For many, the old paradigm of working 9am to 5pm was uprooted in place of working 12 hours or even more a day… People have had to deal with homeschooling children, taking care of new mental health challenges, and trying to avoid burnout. With the vaccination the world has started to heal, people got vaccinated, restaurants opened and people are finally reuniting.

EthCC[3] was the last in-person Ethereum conference of 2020, and the Ethereum Magicians were there too. We are extremely excited to announce that we are coming to Paris this year and it will be huge!

Brace yourself this will be the coolest event of the year! We snagged a prestigious venue at a famous French University, got the best speakers possible, and arranged a bunch of cool details like coffee, the best cupcakes, popsicles and food for the best community! We know many of you weren’t able to get tickets to EthCC, so we would like to host the Ethereum Community at the ETHécole event!

🦄 The vibe 🦄

Enjoy a full day of educational talks focused on Ethereum Development, NFTs, and DAOs. Workshops and talks with leaders of the Ethereum ecosystem. Networking and community-building opportunities with a bunch of cool bits! As Ethereum Magicians we will be keeping the vibe with the best cupcakes. Thanks to our sponsors we will be providing coffee, refreshments and food.

🗓 Book you calendar! 🗓

ETHécole will happen on July 21 from 9am to 6pm at ENS!
