ETHDam is a conference and hackathon hosted for the 2nd time in Amsterdam, at Pakhuis de Zwijger on the 12-14 of April 2024! This edition is dedicated to ZK and Security. We look forward to welcome you as a hacker or as a conference guest! 🤗

CryptoCanal has been offering education, events and consultancy services since 2019. We started organising larger conference since Devconnect 2022, with ETHDay and DeFiDay. As a result, the first edition of ETHDam was born in 2023, and was dedicated to DeFi and Privacy, in 2024 we will be hosting the second edition ETHDam. Everything is powered by a small, tight team of passionate people wanting to leave their mark in this beautiful decentralised ecosystem, by bringing people together and organising powerful hackathons. Federico - All the tech, Hackathon Master Nicoletta - Coordination glue, in charge of the Hacker Speed Dating and Volunteers Eleonore - CryptoCanal Founder and in charge of BD, Production and Content. + an army of volunteers, mentors, advisors and enthusiasts, helping us shape this conference and hackathon for you.

We know, this is THE MOST important factor for you all! Just like during our first edition, we will offer drinks, and catering to all attendees and hackers. In the morning and throughout the day, you will have some refreshing beverages and small snacks at the tea & coffee station inside, outside in the yard, you can find the best coffee served at the dedicated Coffee food truck! For lunch, you can expect a variety of food trucks outside, as well as a lunch buffet inside the venue. at 5pm, expect a traditional Dutch borrel, with snacks and beers for all 🍻 Dinner is reserved to the hackers only (which can also crash and hack all night)

This is reserved for our hackathon partners. Please respect the dedicated hackathon areas which are reserved for hackers, don't bug them (they have enough bugs to solve).

Only if you are part of one of the sponsors of the event. They are the only ones who have permission to do that, depending on their sponsorship tier.

Hackers will be able to crash at the venue on Saturday and Sunday night. Everyone else should make their own arrangements for accommodation. Please note that Amsterdam has plenty of tourism all year round, which means high occupation in hotels and hostels, so try and book your reservations in advance (=book ASAP).
