Contextual Information by the team, below:
###
ETH Denver, the flagship event of the Ethereum community draws in a lot of the active community as well as newcomers to the space. By showing up at ETHDenver awareness and builder and developer leads with high interest in blockchain are generated - newbies looking to build their first project and/or contribute to the tech stack, as well as teams already building in the Ethereum community and looking for new project opportunities. In addition to new leads, the event is a great opportunity to connect with those already familiar with Polkadot, and grow the relationship.

Polkadot successfully participated in last year’s edition as a Diamond sponsor, and organized several ETH Denver BUIDLWeek talk sessions. For this year’s event, the goal is to give Polkadot and the ecosystem teams even more visibility and to book a higher-level sponsorship package. The participation would encompass a Cypher sponsorship package, and a mini summit during BUIDLWeek.

The following teams have confirmed their participation at ETHDenver activities: **Astar, Unique Network, Phala Network, Zeitgeist, Gear, RMRK, OAK Network, Pendulum, Moonbeam, InvArch, Apillon, Crust, Acurast, Manta, Solang, DAM Finance.**
