Rare Evo is a blockchain conference, gathering the greatest minds and projects of various blockchain networks under one roof for a weekend of education, celebration, and networking. The mission from Rare Evo is to curate a hybrid experience of the best blockchain events the industry has known to grow and love, into a single unique, yet annual convention. Ultimately, our goal after two days of speakers, panels, exhibition, and entertainment, is that our attendees, exhibitors, and sponsors extract value from the experience to better their business.

The convention will take place one Aug. 24th-Aug. 26th 2023. Thursday the 24th will consist of exhibitor build out in our expo hall during the afternoon, while hosting a pre-event party (accessible to only VIP ticket holders, Exhibitors, and Sponsors) in the evening. Friday (25th) and Saturday (26th) will be two full days of keynote speeches, panels, workshops, expo, and entertainment. The afterparties will occur both nights of the convention with national musical acts performing.

The event will be hosted at Gaylord Rockies Resort and Convention Center near Denver, CO, featuring eight restaurants, a spa, four pools and a lazy river. It is located at 6700 N Gaylord Rockies Blvd, Aurora, CO 80019. Hotel room bookings for Gaylord Rockies can be purchased at a discounted rate at the following link.

The Rare Evo founding team, also known as Rare Network, shares decades worth of technology and event production experience. Originally, the company created the Rare stake pool in order to get further involved in a blockchain network and begin marketing ourselves. From there, we developed our brand identity and pool's general purpose forming a first-mover blockchain community event. After a successful first year event with top down support from various leaders in the blockchain industry, Rare Network has grown from a single stake pool, to an event production company as well as a partner network.

We will announce our pre-registration (occurring the 24th) times as we near the event. During the days of the convention (Friday & Saturday), registration begins at 7:30am, while doors open at 8:30 a.m. Upon registration, you’ll provide your QR code for scan followed by receiving your ticket's corresponding lanyard. Keep this lanyard on for the entirety of the conference please. If you lose your lanyard, then you’ll be required to purchase another ticket in order to enter. Security will be checking VIP lanyards to grant access to areas only intended for VIP ticket purchasers, speakers, and special guests.

Rare Evo is by no means a maximalist event for a particular blockchain. We strive to bridge gaps between blockchains and the projects and communities that follow. We are forever evolving in a multi-chain direction and advocating for interoperability early on throughout the space.

Various thought leaders of the industry are joining us to speak, celebrate, and perform throughout the day and night. Please see the Speakers and Exhibitors page for more detailed information.
