A-lab (http://a-lab.nl)'s Blockchain Workspace (http://www.blockchainworkspace.com/) will host us - just across the IJ from Amsterdam Central Station.



Walk-in from 19h, talks start 19h30 sharp.



Check walking directions from ferry Buiksloterveer:



Main talks:



• Frankie Pangilinan (https://twitter.com/Littlefrankiebe) ( http://MetaMask.io developer)

Frankie will be demoing the first time flow of MetaMask (http://MetaMask.io) as and end user and how to use MetaMask as a Dapp developer.



• Jarrad Hope (https://twitter.com/jarradhope?lang=en) and Carl Bennetts (https://twitter.com/carlbennetts?lang=en), cofounders of Status.im (https://status.im/)

Status is a mobile Ethereum client for Android and iOS. Jarrad and Carl will be discussing their thoughts on where they believes mobile technology is heading, what Status is and what it will become, and why Ethereum and decentralisation is important in this context.



Show and Tell



Like every time, we'll also have a number of mini-talks: 5-minute demos, or even just pitches for a project you’re working on, or planning to work on. No slides required.



Want to present too? Message Pascal and Joris by using the Organizers Contact button in the left navigation bar (or at the top in the mobile web app).



More about the Blockchain Workspace in A-Lab



Co-workingspace and incubator A-lab (http://a-lab.nl/about), has started a Blockchain Lab for Public Good (http://a-lab.nl/blockchain-1) in cooperation with trainers and advisors of Blockchain Workspace (http://www.blockchainworkspace.com/).

Apart from physical space (https://www.a-lab.nl/available-now), they also bring people together around areas where blockchain tech might seem promising. Their inaugural meetup around Intellectual Property (http://a-lab.nl/events/blockchain-meetup-innovation-digital-rights-management-intellectual-property-included) is exactly one week later (https://www.meetup.com/Permissionless-Society/events/238409221/)!
