What do you get when you mix centuries-old architecture, cutting-edge tech, and the most passionate Web3 community in the game? The Avalanche EMEA Summit at Hatfield House and a conference that truly had it all: energy, innovation, and epic memories.
From the very start, the atmosphere was electric. Builders, dreamers, and doers gathered from across EMEA to connect, collaborate, and celebrate the Avalanche ecosystem. Whether it was deep technical chats or lighthearted banter over cold drinks, the community spirit was everywhere. Attendees were open, inclusive, and fired up for the future.
And speaking of community, our very own Soshi stand was a smash hit. Their interactive Soshi stand became the summit’s unofficial arena of friendly competition. Teams from all corners of the ecosystem stepped up to test their reflexes on the now-legendary shock game, with one heroic attendee clocking in a jaw-dropping score of 8 seconds. Yep, 8 seconds. We were all asking the same question, how did he manage that? The answer? Pure persistence. Proof that in both gaming and building, never giving up pays off.
But the day wasn’t all games and garden strolls. The main stage delivered thought-provoking and inspiring talks, starting strong with Avalanche Founder Emin Gün Sirer, whose vision continues to drive the future of decentralized tech. He expressed his excitement at seeing the fruits of labor come to pass with institutions now at the table to discuss all things crypto. MeWe will be part of the next wave driving consumer adoption and supporting Soshi to build new social economies. Then came the big FIFA announcement, sending a ripple of excitement through the crowd. And let’s not forget the moment our very own CEO & President Jeffrey Edell took the stage alongside fellow social app builder Arena to discuss the power of social dApps. It was a moment that captured just how far we’ve come and how much further we’re going.
Amid it all, MeWe stood out as a beacon of what’s possible when social media puts users first. Positioned at the forefront of decentralized social change, MeWe continues to prove that privacy, control, and community-driven platforms aren’t just ideal, they’re inevitable.
Add in some glorious sunshine, expertly curated side events, and the kind of spontaneous networking that only happens when great people come together in the right place and you’ve got yourself an absolute smash hit event.
Thanks to everyone who showed up, shared their stories, and made the Avalanche EMEA Summit one for the books. Let’s keep building, keep connecting, and keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
