Join us at FarCon
farcon is application based due to a deep desire to convene, connect, and celebrate those most committed to the Farcaster ecosystem (and because of venue constraints)
step 1
apply to attend via DeForm. applications are being reviewed on a rolling basis.
step 2
we'll notify you via email if your application is approved. you'll then be able to purchase your pass (there are 3 types to fit the needs of everyone!)
Summit ($200)
Community ($50)
Vibes ($1; scholarship)
step 3
time to purchase your pass! wowow
your farcaster connected address has been allowlisted to purchase your approved pass type :)
Buy my pass
How much will passes cost?
summit passes (all 4 days) will be $200.
community passes (everything except the summit) will be $50.
passes for those who needed scholarships will be $1 :)
What does the cost of the pass cover?
the summit pass gets you into events throughout farcon and covers the cost of the flagship summit (venue, food and beverage, drinks, av). the community pass gets you access to all events except the summit.
we are working with potential values-aligned sponsors to help ensure a high-quality experience for the summit as well as the hackathon and side events
Will food and drink be provided?
food and drink will be provided at the flagship summit, and ideally at part of the hackathon. more to come soon!
Who are the speakers?
@dwr.eth, @v, and @jessepollack are confirmed and the rest of the speakers will be announced soon.
given the vast interests and channels on Farcaster, our goal is to bring non-crypto speakers. we get enough of crypto speakers at our everyday crypto conferences
What are the lightning talks and product demos?
lightning talks and product demos will be led by your fellow Farcasters. these haven't been announced yet. they'll happen in smaller group settings (not in front of everyone at the conference) followed by ample time to discuss either 1:1 or with groups
When do I find out if my application is accepted?
application acceptances are actively going out on a rolling basis. you should hear a few days after you submit your application whether you've been accepted :)
If I have kids and want to attend, will there be childcare?
yes! @mcbain is passionate about this being a kid-friendly event and is working on securing childcare for the flagship summit
How can I host a side event?
tell us you want to host a side event on your application and we'll be in touch. we're also working to secure funding to support all side events and offset any costs for events that may require tickets
Where can I find side events?
all side events will be listed on the FarCon website. we're also working with @eventcaster to ensure RSVPs are possible. more to come
