ETHChicago is a Web3-native ecosystem that exists to help its community to connect, explore, build, and create the next frontier of the Internet.
At ETHChicago, we empower individuals and organizations from across the Web3 ecosystem, and beyond, to explore and harnass the transformative potential of blockchain.
ETHChicago is a gathering place for all of the Web3 community in the Midwest with the goal of exchanging ideas, networking, building, and making friends.
From the inaugural 2023 ETHChicago conference through audience-specific side mixers, hackathons or X spaces, we have done it all and have brought amazing partners along the way!
Ranging from in-depth technical expertise through Web3 business strategy, legal and regulatory knowledge through NFT strategy, ETHChicago is the focal point for all things Web3 in the Midwest.
Join us for a week of events, culminating in the Emerging Tech Innovation Summit, which brings together key players in the AI & Web3 ecosystem for an all-encompassing, multi-day event. Gain insights from industry leaders, connect with accelerating startups and be part of the disruption.
The Web3 Innovation Lab connects key ecosystem figures through technology-focused experiences, fostering high-impact collaborations. Members at 1871 accelerate growth through strategic partnerships. The 2025 program focuses on Digital Assets, Market Infrastructure, and Web3-Powered AI.
ETHChicago serves as the ultimate connector across the Web3 community and a broker for partnerships of all kinds, connecting developers and creatives with projects, entrepreneurs with strategists, and sponsors with best co-branded opportunities.
Join us as a sponsor and be part of the future! Support groundbreaking events in Web3, where innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurship converge. Showcase your brand to a forward-thinking audience, build lasting partnerships, and position your organization at the forefront of the digital revolution.
Through special projects, such as last winter’s NFT drop, our Cyberjams, blending technology and art, or CSO activations, we can support any cross-functional one-off initiative.
ETHChicago has in-house social media and digital marketing experts with expertise in Web3 community building and membership management that can help our community and partners tap into the untapped potential of Web3 via both Web2 and Web3-native marketing tools.
