About this event
Blockotá – Stellar Summer Friday v2.0 is a chance to spend a Friday afternoon with people in Bogotá who care about building, learning, and staying close to what is happening across the Stellar and broader web3 community. If you want something more useful than another passive talk-heavy meetup, this event is built around real conversations, strong local energy, and the kind of in-person context that helps ideas move forward. About the Event This is an in-person community and networking meetup happening in Bogotá, designed to bring together people who are curious about Stellar, active in blockchain, or simply interested in connecting with others working at the intersection of technology, community, and emerging digital infrastructure. The format is social by design, but with substance. Expect a meetup that makes room for introductions, perspective-sharing, and the kind of informal exchange that helps people find collaborators, partners, and new points of view without the pressure of a formal conference environment. Because this is a Friday gathering, the tone is likely to feel open, relaxed, and conversational while still being focused on the ecosystem and the people helping shape it. It is a good setting for reconnecting with familiar faces, meeting new ones, and getting a more grounded sense of what people in the local scene are actually working on right now. What to Expect You should expect a community-led atmosphere where networking is not treated as an afterthought. Rather than sitting through a packed agenda from a distance, attendees will likely spend meaningful time in direct conversation with others across different levels of experience and interest. A meetup like this typically works best because it creates multiple ways to participate. Depending on the flow of the gathering, that may include: Casual check-ins and introductions early in the event Open conversation around Stellar, blockchain use cases, and regional ecosystem activity Space to share what you are building, exploring, or looking for Organic networking with founders, developers, operators, students, and community members Informal discussion about opportunities, challenges, and ideas relevant to the Bogotá scene You do not need to arrive with a pitch or a polished project to get value from the room. Showing up ready to listen, ask thoughtful questions, and introduce yourself clearly will go a long way. If you are already active in the space, this event can also function as a useful touchpoint: a place to compare notes, hear what others are seeing, and stay connected to the local pulse in a more direct way than online channels usually allow. Why Attend In-person community events matter because they compress time. A single afternoon conversation can give you more clarity than weeks of browsing posts, scrolling group chats, or trying to understand a market from a distance. At Blockotá – Stellar Summer Friday v2.0, the value comes from being in the room with people who are paying attention. Whether you are exploring Stellar specifically or the broader web3 landscape, you will have the chance to test your ideas, ask better questions, and hear how others are thinking about adoption, product, community, and opportunity. You may leave with: New relationships inside the Bogotá tech and blockchain community Better understanding of who is building locally and what they care about Fresh perspective on where Stellar fits into current conversations Potential collaborators for projects, events, or research A stronger sense of belonging in a space that can otherwise feel fragmented online There is also a practical advantage to attending a local meetup instead of waiting for a major conference. The conversations are usually more honest, more accessible, and more relevant to your immediate context. You can ask direct questions, share your own experience, and build trust in a setting that feels personal rather than performative. Practical Details This event takes place in person in Bogotá, Colombia on Friday, August 15 at 12:00 PM GMT-5. That midday Friday timing makes it a good fit for people who want to carve out part of the afternoon for community, networking, and ecosystem conversation without committing to a full-day program. Because it is an in-person meetup, the main thing to bring is readiness to engage. A simple introduction about who you are, what you are interested in, and what kinds of people or ideas you hope to connect with will make the experience much more rewarding. A few practical ways to get the most out of it: Arrive on time so you can settle in and meet people early Be ready to introduce yourself in one or two clear sentences If you are building something, have a concise explanation of it If you are exploring the space, come with a few questions you genuinely want answered Stay open to conversations outside your immediate niche If you are based in Bogotá or will be in the city that Friday, this is a strong opportunity to spend time with a local community that values connection, momentum, and real exchange. Blockotá – Stellar Summer Friday v2.0 is not about watching from the sidelines; it is about showing up, meeting the people in the room, and becoming part of the conversation.
