​ETHSF Opening Ceremony

​​🗓 10 March, 2025

​Kick off a week of thought-provoking dialogue at the intersection of Ethereum, AI, biotech, and beyond. More than a fleeting trend, Ethereum stands for sustainable innovation and a decentralized future.

​Positioned between ETHDenver, Nvidia’s GTC, and GDC, ETHSF offers a rare opportunity to engage with industry leaders in an intimate setting—without the noise of large conferences.

​Join a curated series of events across the Bay Area, designed to foster meaningful connections and groundbreaking ideas.
