Protocol Labs is made up of 200+ independent teams working together to drive breakthroughs in computing. Our work spans the innovation pipeline, from early research projects to successful startups that reach millions of users.

LabWeek is a decentralized conference convened by network teams in Protocol Labs. Taking place in emerging tech hubs around the world, it’s a chance for PL teams to connect, collaborate and innovate across their fields of expertise. Events span topics such as zk proofs, AI x blockchain, decentralized storage, gaming in Web3, public goods , consensus, DePIN, cryptoeconomics, DeSci, and many more.

This year, there are 3 LabWeeks focused on Public Goods, AI and Web3. Join us for a week of summits, research-focused seminars, engineering workshops, unconferences, and happy hours that are open to anyone interested in learning more.

LabWeek is attended by Protocol Labs teams from around the world, and is also open to the public. LabWeek is for subject experts, those who want to share big ideas, go deeper on conversations, debate issues and possible solutions. If you're interested in connecting with like-minded individuals working at the forefront of emerging tech, then LabWeek is for you.

LabWeek-Public Goods will be from Thursday, April 11 to Tuesday, April 16, 2024.
