Conference Format
Technical work leads, then execution catches up.
The ETH Canal format starts with engineering and research, then builds into business, policy, and implementation conversations grounded in real work.
Afternoon execution tracks
Product execution, ecosystem alignment, business pathways, and policy sessions tie technical work to real deployment constraints.
Dedicated workshop space
Mentorship, partner meetings, and hands-on sessions keep the event useful for builders rather than passive for attendees.
Recurring Programs
Recurring programs keep ETH Canal active between flagship moments.
Office hours, workshops, demos, and community calls make the network feel alive long before and long after April.
Office hours
Focused unblock sessions for builders, contributors, and partner teams working through implementation details.
Workshops and demos
Technical programming that can operate year-round, not only during the April flagship window.
Community calls
Regular touchpoints to align contributors, maintainers, organizers, and collaborators.
