About this event
If you're in Brussels for EthCC and want a conversation that goes beyond quick handshakes and crowded hallway intros, Cheers to Lido x Fireblocks @ EthCC is a smart stop on your Tuesday. This meetup brings together a community of people building, operating, investing in, and supporting the crypto ecosystem for an afternoon of relaxed networking with real substance. Set in person in Bruxelles, Belgium on Tuesday, July 9 at 2:00 PM GMT+2, the event is designed for people who want to connect face to face, compare notes on what’s happening across the industry, and spend time with others who are actively shaping the next phase of digital assets. About the Event Cheers to Lido x Fireblocks @ EthCC is a community-focused meetup built around one simple idea: create space for high-quality conversations during one of the busiest weeks in crypto. With EthCC drawing builders, operators, founders, protocol contributors, institutions, and ecosystem teams into the same city, the best moments often happen in smaller, more social settings where people can actually talk. This event leans into that format. Rather than feeling like a formal conference session, it offers a more natural way to meet people, reconnect with familiar faces, and start discussions that can turn into partnerships, collaborations, or simply useful new relationships. It sits at the intersection of community, networking, meetup, and social gathering, making it a strong fit for attendees who value both relevance and ease. Because it takes place during EthCC, the energy is likely to be timely and informed by what’s happening across the week. Expect conversations shaped by what people are seeing on the ground in Brussels: new product ideas, infrastructure questions, market perspectives, institutional adoption, protocol development, operational challenges, and where the ecosystem appears to be heading next. What to Expect At its core, this is an in-person networking meetup. The format is straightforward by design: show up, meet people, and make the most of being in the room. That simplicity matters during a major conference week, when attendees are often balancing packed calendars and looking for gatherings that are worth the time. You can expect an atmosphere that supports both spontaneous introductions and more focused one-on-one conversations. Some people will come to reconnect with existing contacts, while others will use the meetup to meet teams and individuals they have only known online or through conference chatter. The social setting makes it easier to start conversations without the pressure of a rigid agenda. Likely themes of conversation may include: What teams are building and shipping right now How infrastructure, custody, staking, and security priorities are evolving What institutions, protocols, and service providers are paying attention to this year Takeaways from EthCC sessions, side events, and meetings happening across Brussels Opportunities for collaboration across product, ecosystem, BD, and community functions This is also the kind of event where the value often comes from the mix of attendees rather than a stage-led program. You may move between casual chats, practical industry discussions, introductions through mutual connections, and conversations that continue well beyond the event itself. Why Attend EthCC week is full of options, which makes selectivity important. A good meetup is not just another item on the calendar; it is a chance to spend time with people you genuinely want to know. Cheers to Lido x Fireblocks @ EthCC is well positioned for attendees who care about signal, not just volume. If you work in crypto, digital assets, or web3, events like this can help compress months of outreach into a single afternoon. You can meet potential collaborators, test ideas informally, get a sharper read on what others are prioritizing, and build context that is hard to get from online conversations alone. In-person settings still matter because nuance, trust, and momentum often emerge faster when people are in the same room. There is also a practical reason to attend: during a major conference, the best networking often happens outside formal programming. Meetups create the breathing room needed for more honest discussion, better follow-up opportunities, and stronger first impressions. If you are intentional about who you meet and what you want to learn, this kind of gathering can be one of the most useful parts of your EthCC schedule. A few reasons this event may be especially worth your time: You want a more conversational alternative to packed conference sessions You value access to a relevant crowd during a high-density industry week You are looking to build relationships, not just collect contacts You want to trade notes with people actively participating in the ecosystem right now Practical Details Location: In person in Bruxelles, Belgium. As an in-person event during EthCC week, it is best approached as a focused networking stop within your broader conference plans. If you are already attending meetings, talks, or side events across the city, this is an easy opportunity to add a more social, connection-driven format to your day. Date and time: Tuesday, July 9 at 2:00 PM GMT+2. The afternoon timing makes it a useful midpoint in the day: early enough to bring energy and attention, and well placed for people who want to fit in meetings before or after. If you are planning to attend, come ready to introduce yourself clearly and make the most of the room. A little preparation goes a long way at events like this. Think about who you hope to meet, what you are working on, and the kinds of conversations you want to have. That way, you can turn a casual social meetup into a genuinely productive part of your EthCC week. A few practical tips: Arrive with enough time to settle in and start conversations early Keep your intro short and specific so new contacts quickly understand your focus Be ready to discuss what brought you to EthCC and what you are looking for this week Plan for follow-up while conversations are fresh, especially if collaboration potential comes up For anyone spending the week in Brussels and looking for a well-placed networking event with a strong community feel, Cheers to Lido x Fireblocks @ EthCC offers exactly that: a chance to meet the right people in a setting built for real conversation.
