HBC25: Blockchain in Action

​We are incredibly excited to invite you to HBC25, Harvard’s premier student-organized blockchain and AI conference, taking place on April 26th and 27th, 2025 at Northwest Labs, Cambridge, MA. This exclusive event will gather top thought leaders, innovators, and enthusiasts with diverse perspectives to explore cutting-edge topics in decentralized technology, ethical policy development, and the intersection of AI and blockchain.

This year's theme is BLOCKCHAIN IN ACTION. Learn from top experts about the blockchain applications that have already taken off, meet with student builders to get a feel for the market, and even leave with a job after attending our free job fair.

HBC25 is also hosting a policy hackathon with significant prize money, prestigious judging, and real-world policy-writing experience. Lastly, HBC25 alongside EasyA is hosting a coding hackathon with significant prize money and accompanying workshops— students of all skill levels are encouraged to participate. Both hackathons are free for any conference attendee to enter!
