A hacker house and hackathon experience, transforming the iconic venue into Polkadot's unofficial home base for builders, developers and ecosystem teams during the most technically focused week in Web3.
Web3 Summit is one of the most builder-focused conferences in the space, but it has no formal sponsorship structure and resists traditional brand activations. Polkadot needed a way to show up authentically, create meaningful developer touchpoints, and stand out without disrupting the Summit's grassroots ethos.
Produced and coordinated The Blockspäti across the full duration of Web3 Summit, managing venue operations, daily programming, food and beverage, hackathon logistics, partner coordination and on-the-ground delivery across multiple days of concurrent hacking, workshops and networking events.
A multi-day hacker house experience rooted in Berlin culture, a late-night underground club opening party with resident DJs, projection mapping and free-flowing drinks, followed by structured daytime programming with open co-working, mentorship, talks and a live hackathon with bounties across Polkadot ecosystem partners including ink!, Hyperbridge and UX Bounty.
A standout Polkadot presence at one of Web3's most respected conferences, delivered in a way that felt native to Berlin's builder culture rather than a corporate overlay.
