About this event
If you work in crypto, want to break into the space, or simply keep hearing that the best opportunities come through people rather than job boards, this special edition of Blocks & Brews is built for you. This evening in Lausanne brings the local crypto community together around one practical focus: meeting a crypto recruiter, asking better career questions, and making useful connections in a relaxed, in-person setting. About the Event Blocks & Brews: Special Edition — “Meet a Crypto Recruiter” is a community-first meetup designed to make the hiring side of crypto more accessible. Instead of another broad networking night where everyone is left guessing who to talk to, this edition gives the event a clear angle: understanding how recruitment works in crypto and how to present yourself more effectively if you are exploring roles, hiring, or building your network. The format is intentionally social and conversational. Expect an informal evening where people can connect naturally, share what they are working on, and speak directly with others who understand the realities of careers in the crypto ecosystem. Whether you are actively searching, casually exploring, or already established in the industry, the value comes from honest conversations with people who are close to the market. Because this is an in-person gathering in Lausanne, the event also offers something digital communities often cannot: context, chemistry, and real interaction. You can ask questions in the moment, follow up easily, and leave with a much clearer sense of where you fit in the ecosystem. What to Expect The evening will center on a mix of open networking and recruiter-focused conversation. Rather than a highly formal conference structure, expect a meetup rhythm that makes it easy to arrive, settle in, and start talking without pressure. You can expect the night to include: Community mingling from the start, giving you time to meet other attendees across crypto, startups, and adjacent fields A recruiter-focused element, where you can better understand what teams look for, how hiring conversations typically unfold, and what makes candidates stand out Casual career discussions, including questions around positioning your experience, moving into crypto, and navigating a competitive market Peer networking, which is often just as valuable as the main theme; some of the best outcomes come from meeting builders, operators, and curious newcomers in the room This is not only for people handing out CVs. It is also a space to learn how the market thinks. If you have ever wondered how recruiters assess domain knowledge, which profiles are easier to place, or how community involvement can strengthen your credibility, this is the kind of setting where those conversations happen naturally. There is also a clear advantage to the smaller, more human format. You are more likely to have real exchanges than brief transactional introductions. That makes the event useful not just for immediate opportunities, but for long-term relationship building inside the local and wider crypto scene. Why Attend Crypto remains a relationship-driven industry. Roles are often filled through trusted introductions, community visibility, and strong signals that do not always come across in a standard application. Meeting a recruiter in person gives you a rare chance to understand that process from the other side. If you are job-seeking, you can sharpen how you talk about your background, your strengths, and the type of role you actually want. If you are already working in the space, you can benchmark where the market is, hear how talent is being evaluated, and expand your network with people who may become future collaborators, hires, or sources of insight. This event is also valuable because it lowers the barrier to asking candid questions. In a formal interview setting, people often hesitate. In a meetup environment, you can be more direct: What skills matter most right now? How much does on-chain experience count? How should someone from tech, finance, product, or community transition into crypto? Those answers can save you time and help you focus your energy where it matters. You will likely leave with more than contacts. You may leave with a clearer career narrative, a better understanding of the local crypto community, and a stronger sense of how to approach your next step with confidence. Practical Details This is an in-person event in Lausanne, Switzerland, making it especially relevant for people based locally or within easy reach of the area. If you value face-to-face conversation over endless online threads and cold outreach, this format is the point. Date and time: Thursday, November 27 at 6:00 PM GMT+1. An early-evening start makes it easy to attend after work and still have enough time for meaningful conversations rather than rushed introductions. A few useful things to keep in mind: Come ready to introduce yourself clearly in a few sentences Bring your curiosity, especially if you have questions about hiring, roles, or breaking into crypto Be open to conversations beyond recruiting; community meetups often create unexpected introductions If you are hiring, building, or exploring collaborations, this is also a strong room to meet relevant people At its core, this special edition of Blocks & Brews is for people who want practical insight and better connections, not noise. If you care about crypto and want to meet the people around the opportunities, Lausanne is the place to be that evening.
