🍂 Join us at 225 Speakeasy (next to Atwater Brewery) for a Detroit Blockchain Collective Web3 Builders Mixer bringing together Michigan’s builders, founders, investors, and creatives for a night of connection and collaboration!
We’ve got drinks on the house, a featured talk, and a room full of people shaping Detroit’s emerging tech scene!
This event is a mixer with programming on the light side!
Featured lightning talk:
“Smart City Governance: The Case for Blockchain”
— with Michigan-based crypto founder, Edward Thomson
Talk description:
Blockchain is going mainstream. Institutions are adopting it, stablecoins are processing trillions, and governments are paying attention. Smart cities want to integrate blockchain, but the infrastructure to do it securely doesn’t exist yet. Edward will explore the case for blockchain as the foundation for smart cities: what’s been missing, what’s changing, and what’s now being built to make it viable.
Expect real conversations, new friendships, and meaningful connections with people actively building in and around Web3.
Whether you’re a founder, developer, investor, student, creator, or simply exploring the space, this mixer is designed to give you:
- Direct access to Detroit’s Web3 builders and ecosystem leaders
- A chance to discover local startups, tools, and opportunities
- New collaborators, potential partners, and future teammates
- Exposure to real projects being built in Michigan
- A welcoming environment to learn, ask questions, and plug into the community
Enjoy refreshments on us, meet people who are shaping the future of tech in Detroit, and be part of a growing community focused on building, innovating, and supporting each other.
