FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. Who is hosting this event?
Edge City Denver is hosted by Edge City, a new organization dedicated to creating a home for cutting-edge innovators to connect, learn from each other, and explore how to best apply their talents in service of humanity. For our Denver event, we’re bringing together an amazing group of partners who will program each day.
While we’ll have consistent coffee and cold plunges every morning, the day-to-day “topic day” events will be distinct and organized by different leading teams (e.g., Uniswap, Stanford Blockchain, Guild), so each day will have a unique vibe, new people, and special content.
We aim to create nurturing spaces where thinkers and builders from diverse fields, including Crypto, AI, BioTech & Longevity, Philosophy, Governance, and more, can meet, work, and build the future together. The Edge City team spearheaded the production of the popup villages Zuzalu Montenegro and ZuConnect in Istanbul, which were known for their successful community-building and innovative environments.
Edge City Denver represents the launch event of Edge City, and the first in a series of pop-up villages planned for 2024. The focus will be on knowledge sharing, co-working, building and testing prototypes, and fostering a blend of health, fun, and innovation.

6. How does this event relate to ETHDenver?
We are hosting this event during ETHDenver to make sure those who want to attend the official ETHDenver festivities can also do that. Given that Edge City Denver includes but isn’t just limited to crypto discussion, ECD adds to the vibrancy and dynamism of the wider ETHDenver conference.

Early bird tickets are $199 USD (now sold out), and General Admission tickets are $269 (also sold out).
This gives you access to the venue for co-working space and Wi-Fi, and for every day, unless otherwise stated in the schedule, access to the daily events hosted by our day takeover partners.
