Lightning Talks: All monthly workshop events include lightning talks by community members. In 3 minutes anyone can present their ideas, 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.

Who should attend? 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.

Logistics: The workshop will be held between 4pm and 5:30pm. Plan to arrive at 4pm for networking and socializing until 4:15pm. Workshop events officially begin at 4:15pm and end around 5:30pm. After the event ends we'll be moving just a few doors down to Chief O’Neill's for beer and conversation.

Pumping Station One is a hacker/maker space in the city near Addison and Elston. It’s just a half mile from the Kennedy expressway and the Blue Line Addison stop. There is plenty of free street parking available in the area. The workshop will be held in the main conference room just to the right of the entrance. Look for the BOB signs!
