NEARCON is one of the biggest crypto events of the year, signaling to the broader community that NEAR and Web3 are here to stay, no matter what the market looks like. NEAR Foundation’s vision is to enable Web3 developers to create with ease and to access a protocol that is one of the world’s most scalable, inclusive and sustainable platforms.
The event will highlight the challenges and opportunities for achieving Web3 adoption in a highly challenging and fragmented environment. It is also a celebration of NEAR’s major community milestones, which recently included launching over 700+ ecosystem projects spanning all Web3 verticals and layers in less than a year.
Developers, entrepreneurs, creatives and regulators will each have a dedicated track at NEARCON, with panels and information sessions customized to the specific interests of each group. Seven content themes will structure the event: future of finance, future of work, sustainability, Web2 to Web3, governance, arts and culture, and technical content.
This year, NEARCON will take place in two incredible venues, designed to optimize spaces for a hackathon and the talks and demos. While we are still working out the details of the third venue, here are two confirmed venues:

Alameda do Beato 40, 1950-042
Lisboa, Portugal
Hacker HQ
Armazem 16

All in all, the Near Foundation will be showcasing all the ways in which the Near ecosystem is flourishing — providing a framework for how Web3 will continue to shape our shared, decentralized future around the world.
