Events in the Fabric community
Welcome back from what was (hopefully) a fun summer!
With a whole series of events planned for the next few months across Europe and globally, we’ve decided to make it easier for our friends & community to follow what we at Fabric are up to — and hopefully join us along the way.
We will use this post as a a compilation of events we are hosting, helping organise, and participate in — so check back in for updates!

Upcoming events:
☂️Fabric x Demos Westminster Summit — tba, London ☂️
We have recently launched a project — in collaboration with Demos UK — to establish a bridge between decentralised networks technologists and politicians, and encourage a more informed dialogue and decision-making when it comes to cryptoasset regulation and other issues. We will shortly announce the date of our event in Westminster, bringing together policy makers and technologists for a live discussion on the subject.
