Events
Due to the current situation, most of the events we planned to attend are canceled. We will keep updating you when it comes to online events Team Concordium will participate in.
Concordium will participate in Consensus 2020. The three-day event is going to take place from 11th to 13th May 2020 and it aims to be a big tent for blockchain technology attracting every major company, developer, and investor in the industry.
From May 4th to May 6th, Concordium’s team participates in Ready Layer One. This event is a mixture between a hackathon, a conference and a seminar where the participants build decentralized applications using the next-gen of layer 1 protocols.
