DePin Dinner brings together the movers and shakers shaping decentralized physical infrastructure. Attendees include:
RWA Day is a separate event, the day before ETH Denver. Although it's not required to go to ETH Denver, most of the attendees will be attending it as well.
RWA Day is at the Hilton City Center, in the heart of Denver and part of the preferred hotels for ETH Denver. To shop for hotels, use the official lodging link.
Round Tables bring together a small, diverse group, including founders, fund managers, institutions, investors, regulators, and industry experts, to discuss institutionally relevant topics in digital assets and RWA tokenization. These curated sessions foster meaningful dialogue, share insights, and bridge the gap between traditional and decentralized finance.
Our sponsors commitment to real-world applications makes DePin Dinner possible.
