Hello hello NEARVERSE 
Have you heard about NEAR | CON? The event is 8 weeks away, and is in full swing planning mode. NEAR | CON is an event open to everyone to come and celebrate NEAR’s 1 Year Anniversary since its Mainnet launch. Immerse yourself in 2 days of talks, networking, workshops and a whole lot more provided by the NEAR Ecosystem and its Community. We will feature technical and non-technical content so that whether you are a Founder, Developer, Creator, or Engineer, there will be something for everyone.
This inaugural event will take place in Lisbon on October 26th and 27th of this year. If you are based in Lisbon or Europe, we hope you will be able to physically attend the event. If you are based in another region of the world and are able to travel to Lisbon, please come! Rest assured, NEAR | CON will be a COVID compliant event, and our production team is working very closely with the local officials to ensure we are obliging with the regional restrictions. If you are not able to attend, do not worry because you will be able to partake in the fun as we are planning to have our sessions live-streamed and host a couple of interactive virtual elements.
We launched the event website about two weeks ago and are currently capturing emails. However, we are excited to start selling tickets early next week! Be sure to check Twitter because that is where we will announce when sales are live 
We will also start announcing speakers and more information starting next week. Oh, and we will also have a speaker form on the website.
Since we do want NEAR | CON to be a surprise for those of you who plan to attend, we won’t spill the tea on all of the fun that’s in the works… but expect weekly updates on the Forum. For now, check out these beautiful photos of the recently secured NEAR | CON venue, Carpintarias de Sao Lazaro. If you also want to get involved with the event, reply to this post with your ideas 
The views are pretty spectacular!
