DogeCon was a conference that took place in in June 2018.

DogeCon was motivated by the and the cryptocurrency.

Like the and the , DogeCon was meant to be light-hearted and just-for-fun. It was mostly about entertainment — although there were some technical presentations at DogeCon.

Much Conference. Very Vancouver.

I attended DogeCon with my friend Anthony Tsui.

Other people I know who also attended included: Alex Salkeld, Arman Mottaghi, Bob Summerwill, Chelsea Palmer, Matt Lockyer, and others.

1 Doge = 1 Doge

The way the DogeCon was described on the (former) dogecon.fun website was:

Dogecon Vancouver 2018 is a weekend celebration of the social layer of crypto culture, embracing memes and tweetstorms as the current pinnacle of human art and attention. Using the Year of the Doge as a launchpad, we’ll engage in a range of participatory experiences from carefree and whimsical Partying to deep dialectical dialogues. Dogecon will be the crypto unconvention, where play and art are granted as much reverence as math and hardware. We’ll be livestreaming everything, with ample opportunities for our attendees to make their voices heard, from Speed Debates to Crypto Confessional Booths. Come roll up your sleeves and get zany with the decentralist scene!
