Once again Hive is excited to join in the Caracas Blockchain Week, the premier blockchain and tech conference in Venezuela, both as a key sponsor and as presenters. This year's week-long event places a special focus on education, hosting the first local hackathon purely-geared towards creating innovative solutions using Hive and other blockchain technologies.

Join our Hive community members and all the other presenters for a fresh exciting perspective of Web3!

Straight after CBW, we will be holding our very first Hive Blockchain Summit in Venezuela. The event will see an intimate conference-style day in Caracas and a tour of Cumana, the Eastern tourist destination where dozens of businesses accept HIVE and HBD as payment.

Combined Schedule

Hackathon

The 1st King of Devs Venezuela hackathon kicks off on October 24 with three days of coding and mentoring. Pitches and presentations are scheduled for 27th and the final winners will be announced on the 28th. More information can be found here.

Two teams have decided to build on Hive for the hackathon, consisting of seasoned Hive community members and developers relatively new to Hive, that we already know of and more are expected.

"Though it's not my first experience in hackatons (I've been coding since 2015), I find this opportunity very refreshing, not just because Web3 it's a new territory to conquer, but because the huge ecosystem that Hive have and the chance to represent and build there. I've been studying and using Hive about a year and it's amazing." ~ @ch1nux

We wish all the hackathon competitors and teams the best of luck!
