Blockchain Governance Initiative Network Layer2 Meetup@Zurich [Hybrid]


BGIN

Blockchain Governance Initiative Network (BGIN) is a non-profit organization that creates neutral forums for in-depth discussions among all stakeholders, documenting a common language to establish shared understanding. It also fosters innovation, best practices, and standards for blockchain governance in operational, regulatory, and technical spheres.

To serve the above purpose, BGIN:

Creates an open, global, and neutral platform for multi-stakeholder dialogues
Develops a common language and understanding among stakeholders with diverse perspectives through multi-stakeholder dialogues
Builds academic anchors through continuous provision of trustable documents and codes based on an open source-style approach
Establishes best practices and standards that serve blockchain governance.

BGIN has held global Block conferences two or three times a year since its founding in 2020. Block Conferences represent the premier forum for multi-stakeholder discussions provided by BGIN. The Blockchain Center of the University of Zurich (https://www.blockchain.uzh.ch/) hosted Block #6 in June 2022. In addition to Block Conferences, BGIN will organize Layer2 Meetups to exchange ideas with various community hubs across the globe openly. The  Blockchain Center of the University of Zurich will be hosting the first Layer2 Meetup on July 1st, 2024. 

While the program is hybrid, we strongly suggest people participate in the program onsite, as there will be unique networking opportunities. Our networking lunch will be co-hosted by the Association for Women in Crypto (www.womenincrypto.org).
