THE FCIP LOGO ORIGIN STORY
Our logo was designed with the diversity and creativity of our members in mind.
- The infinity loop represents, among many things, our appreciation for infinite creation, ideas and learning.
- The component parts of the logo also represent collaboration and kinetic potential.
- These elements all live in an abstract cubed space, which is a placeholder for their virtual environment.
Many thanks to John Patzman of 1KRobots for designing our logo and to the FCIP members who voted for this design to represent our amazing group!

Ron & the FCIP team========== Previously published information ==============
Just when we thought the internet vocabulary test couldn't get any harder, over the past decade+, we've had to try to figure out a bunch of wild new ideas—bitcoin, blockchain, and Web3.
You're probably rightly wondering: What does it mean for me? And, more specifically, what does it mean for me as an internet professional?
MORE ABOUT OUR SPEAKER:
Patrick Quinn has 28 years of experience in internet technology (26 years in software development). He has been involved with crypto/blockchain/Web3 technologies since 2015, including having been a member of a DAO for much of that time. (A DAO is a "Decentralized Autonomous Organization"—a really important blockchain/Web3 concept.)At previous Fort Collins-area talks (including FCIP and Ignite Fort Collins), he's been described as a "modern day freedom fighter." Believe it or not, this is relevant to his talk about "Bitcoin, Blockchain, Web3, and Me." (He'll explain!)
