1. AI Takes Over ETHDenver Side Events

8 months ago, AI wasn’t even a filter on our page—until a user requested it. Fast forward to today, and at least 25% of ETHDenver side events are AI-focused.

From DeAI and DeFAI to ZK/AI, AI has officially taken over crypto.

… and created a whole new vocabulary.

2. The Laptop Sticker Test becoming a form of KPI

Branding is hard to measure, but one way to gauge your merch and conference sticker efforts is through the “Laptop Sticker Test.” theory.

According to DeepSeek (THE company of this week):

The idea is simple: if people are proudly displaying your stickers on their laptops, you’ve nailed brand loyalty and community pride. Keep this in mind next time you’re handing out one.

3. The Annual Denver Dilemma

Every year, it’s the same conversation: people complain about going to Denver on CT. It’s cold, it’s not the most glamorous city, and yet… everyone goes anyway. Why? Because the event quality is unmatched.

4. Hong Kong to Denver: How many of us will meet on the same flight?

Crypto has normalized traveling so much that this year, many people are hopping directly from Hong Kong to Denver to catch both conferences.
