The largest ETHDenver conference to date ended on Sunday, with the hackathon finalists showcasing their projects to an enthusiastic audience at the National Western Complex in Denver. After two weeks of programming, parties, and panels spread across the city, the conference co-founder John Paller closed out the event with remarks that highlighted the collective spirit of the festival. The conference, run by a community-managed decentralized autonomous organization, had a successful turnout this year, with a sell-out crowd of over 16,000 attendees.
Paller announced plans to expand the conference's reach, with discussions underway to set up satellite events around the world, to which ETHDenver would be the "super bowl." The mascot for next year's conference was also unveiled as the "SporkWhale," symbolizing community ownership.
