ETHBohemia1 is envisioned as a dynamic, multi-day, both offline and online hackathon that brings together a diverse array of individuals, from event organizers and open-source tool developers to community advocates and creative visionaries — to focus on inclusivity, diversity, and innovation in event planning. We're not just exploring new tools for easier event organization; we're also diving into meaningful dialogues that uphold our non-profit values. The collaboration results in a wealth of shared insights that enrich both our community and the broader event landscape.
Our lens encompassing the entire event lifecycle—from intimate meetups to large-scale conferences, and from online to offline hackathons. We delve into the nuances of event planning, execution, and follow-up with a keen eye for innovation. This includes exploring state-of-the-art solutions for event data structuring, Ethereum ecosystem cataloging, and the latest in ticketing, video streaming, and hackathon platforms. However, our explorations aren't limited to just the technical aspects; we also tackle the more complex issues such as financing models, self-regulation, and attendee privacy. The ultimate goal is to arrive at actionable, holistic solutions that meet the needs of both organizers and participants, thereby revolutionizing the way events are conceptualized, organized, and enjoyed.
We expect to host around 50 in-person participants, with additional options for online engagement. A strict adherence to our event's Code of Conduct ensures that ETHBohemia remains a respectful and transformative experience for all involved.
ETHBohemia is a donation-backed non-profit event. Therefore, there will be no sponsors.

This will be a completely different hackathon. We will decide and publish the projects to be hacked together in advance. Hackers goal will not be to fight each other for prizes or bounties, but instead to cooperate with each other. There will be no jury to judge your contribution - we will quantify this reputation together directly on a personal level using tools like Coordinape.
