Venue
Pakhuis de Zwijger is a famous old warehouse and located at ‘IJ’, the main river crossing Amsterdam. Public transport is in front of the venue and it’s a 26 minutes walk and 7 minutes bike ride away from Devconnect’s co-working space in Beurs van Berlage.
Bottom line - Communication channel & Organisers

We are going to plan ahead a few sessions although we are going to leave a lot of space for self organised sessions, feel free to prepare lead & facilitate session - we will try to find you a space at the venue.
We created Ethereum Magicians Discord which we would like to use it as communication channel alongside to this forum for sessions. The discord will be used as chat channel for faster communication during the event and to coordinate sessions. Please use forum as main source of information, the Discord should be used for quick coordination.
