Just leaving this here as a reminder that truly special events do happen. The ZK audience is truly A•M•A•Z•I•N•G!
Appreciate the @HouseofZK team, nothing would’ve been possible without you.🖤
The House of ZK’s Ethproofs Summit,
@BerBlockWeek 🇩🇪
A great event should look effortless. Like a duck on the water: calm on the surface, paddling hard underneath.
In 12+ years of producing events, I've heard "it's not that hard, you just book a venue" more times than I can count.
I've also seen sponsorship packages built before there was a budget, and setup times missed on show day.
Same job title, very different results.
A professional:
• Builds the budget before the sponsorship deck, so nothing gets sold that can't be delivered.
• Knows who installs every sign, by when, and who's responsible for checking it.
• Arrives before setup starts, knowing exactly what should be ready and when.
• Comes back with a new plan, not just bad news, when a sponsor pulls out or a venue falls through.
• Knows when to say no because a request would cost the event more than it adds.
The list goes on, and most of it is learned the hard way.
The title gets someone hired. The work shows who's a professional.
P.S. A little behind-the-scenes footage from the ZK Hub setup in Bangkok.

An ING tender. Thirteen agencies. Asterix and a rented dog in our pitch.
“Leave It at Reception” opens The Offsight’s Field Notes: stories behind the scenes of event production.

A few from @MetisFest in Bogotá.
I still think about this edition because the room had a reason to celebrate before we even opened the doors.
It was also the closing celebration for BogoHacks, the first Metis' in-person hackathon. Some of the people arriving had spent days building together. They already had shared stories, unfinished conversations and something they wanted to mark.
We had panels. We had the rooftop at Vista Corona. Then the evening moved into music and dancing.
That transition matters to me. You can put a great program into a room and still miss what the people in it actually need at that moment.
Here, they needed space to enjoy what they had just done together.
Looking back through event photos, I often notice the moments around the program as much as the stage itself: people staying, moving closer, beginning another conversation.
Those are the photographs I want to keep.

I can organise an event for hundreds. Approaching one person at someone else’s event? Somehow harder 😂
Considering a T-shirt: “I’m terrible at networking but I’d love to chat.”
Any tips before I order it?
P.S. Buffy (IYKYK) was my emotional support animal 🤭

A little venue scouting in Toronto today 👀
Already picturing where everything could go. The windows are making a very good first impression.

A quick question for my network - when you attend a conference, do you actually find the event app useful?
Do you use it to see who’s coming and arrange meetings, check the agenda, or barely open it after downloading?
I’m curious about your experience. Has it helped you meet someone or made the conference easier to navigate? Is having an app something you expect, or would you be fine without one?
These platforms can cost quite a bit, and as an organizer, I want to understand whether that investment makes a difference to the people attending.
Please be honest - even “I never download them” is helpful. Thanks in advance for sharing 🙂

If you fly to @EFDevcon in Mumbai next week, do this before you go 👇
> Separate small hot wallet for the trip
> Main wallet stays home
> Revoke old approvals (use @RevokeCash from @RoscoKalis)
> Skip public Wi-Fi, use your hotspot
> Ignore QR codes on posters
> "Support" DMs are always scams
> Never share your seed phrase
> Check the URL before you connect
> Update phone, laptop, browser, wallet
> Lock screen on, Bluetooth off
Save this for the flight
Too many hacks in the last 24h. If you do one thing today, do this 👇
> Update everything: browsers, OS, phones, desktop apps
> Limit web browsing this week, don't click random links
> Avoid untrusted Wi-Fi, use your hotspot
> Watch out for phishing emails
> iPhone 11-16? Turn Bluetooth off until Apple patches land
> Devs: update all your repos
S/O to @Eito_Miyamura for this practical checklist
Stay safe everyone

Starting to get very excited about a new project I’ve been building on the side over the last few months.
Think of it as the evolution of @HouseofZK.
Congrats @ana_heygrowth for launching ORA 🔥

Reminder: social media doesn’t show you what’s actually happening or what’s true.
It pushes whatever clips get the most clicks and shares, which usually means the ones that cut out context and make people mad or shocked.
Those stories spread fast, get repeated, and start feeling real even when full videos from years of games prove they’re twisted or incomplete.
This works because brains like familiar ideas, and it used to cost a lot to run at big scale but AI is making perfect edits and fake versions cheap and fast.
