Open Bazaar P2P Marketplace Demo - {workshop}
Details
Join us for our monthly {workshop}! They're fun, informative, and highlight interesting and relevant topics to the bitcoin and open blockchain community. During the workshops we host a main speaker, several speakers for a panel discussion, or provide a hands-on demo / learning session. Attendees also have the option of giving a 3-minute lightning talk to announce relevant events and projects.
All ages and experience levels are welcome. If you’re new, you’ll find friendly faces excited and ready to show you the ropes. If you’re a bitcoin or open blockchain expert, you’ll find like-minded people to discuss new or existing projects.
This month we'll be exploring Open Bazaar (https://blog.openbazaar.org/what-is-openbazaar/) with Hannah, one of our brilliant community members (not a sales pitch). OpenBazaar is an open source project to create a decentralized network for peer to peer commerce online—using Bitcoin—that has no fees and no restrictions. Everyone from Forbes to Fortune to CrunchBase to IB Times has been talking about it.

We'll get a hands-on demonstration along with a quick overview of the platform. We'll talk about some interesting projects people are working on. If you're not a developer or don't have something to sell don't worry; this workshop is still for you! We expect this meetup will spawn some great ideas for new projects and storefronts.
All monthly workshop events include lightning talks by community members. In 3-minutes anyone can present their idea, ask for help, recruit partners, or launch new projects. It's a perfect opportunity to find co-founders, coders, advisors, designers, and clients to help make your idea a reality. Look for the sign-up sheet at the registration table.
Plan to arrive between 3:30-3:50pm for networking and socializing until 4:00pm. Workshop events officially begin at 4:00pm and end between 5:00-5:30pm. After the event ends we'll be moving to Links Tap Room (http://www.linkstaproom.com/) for beer and conversation until 6:15ish.
This venue is family friendly, food and juice drinks are available too. You'll find us in the meeting room at the back of the cafe. Look for the signs.
Please RSVP so we can get an accurate count for seating. Note - this {workshop} is being held at a new location (very close to the old location).
We hope to see you Saturday!
