LabWeek: A Decentralized Conference

LabWeek (opens new window) is the Protocol Labs global decentralized conference series. Each LabWeek provides builders the chance to connect in person to share progress on projects and research, exchange knowledge, and make in-depth connections.

The decentralized format is a proven way for teams in the innovation network to host varied events, allowing attendees the freedom to choose their own journey. These include curated events, research-focused seminars, engineering workshops, summits, unconferences, happy hours, and more.

Each event will be organized by experts in their domain, bringing together specialists and technology leaders to create active and in-depth discussions. The goal is to make real progress and advancements in each of the domains covered by the events at LabWeek Web3, driving innovation and breakthroughs in computing.

What Is LabWeek Web3?

LabWeek Web3 tackles the urgent issues at the intersection of digital human rights and the decentralized web. As more of our lives move online, we're faced with the increasing challenges of centralized data control, censorship, and violations of our privacy and freedoms. LabWeek is about advancing the technologies — such as IPFS, Filecoin, and more — that give people back control over our data, our freedom of expression, and our digital futures.

This year's event will dig deep into critical topics like decentralized AI, DePIN, zk-proof technology, and decentralized data systems. We'll explore real-world applications and innovations, shaping everything from privacy to infrastructure. The goal: to inspire action and take control of our individual and collective futures.

Community Driven: By Builders, For Builders

The primary force behind LabWeek Web3 is our community of builders. You are the ones designing the future of the internet, and in many ways, the future of humanity.

That’s why we rely on our community of builders to organize the events at LabWeek Web3. We look to you to identify the tracks and events that are the most meaningful to advance.
