The Superteam Germany crew joined and hosted numerous IRL events, visited a few conferences, facilitated multiple online workshops and continued connecting some of the brightest developers, entrepreneurs, and creators within the Solana ecosystem.

the Berlin Hacker House!
👯♂️ IRL Events
Solana Summer Mixer
We again brought the best vibes out with another Berlin Mixer, bringing the Solana and Web3 communities to explore, converse, and entertain.
We co-hosted the event with the W3 fund who presented on building Web3 communities, and we heard riveting demos by Superteam members Orion and Carlos.
Solana Creator Onboarding Workshop & Mixer, Stuttgart
We gave a Solana NFT Art Workshop for beginners, led by Dr. Rebekka Revel and our member Duke. They guided Web3 curious creators through their first steps to understand what NFTs are, how to create and use a wallet, and how to mint an NFT, among many other things! Of course pizza concluded the big day of learning!
Entering the workshop venue of the super futuristic @INFOMOTION— the perfect venue for art & tech to come together!
Solana Weekend Hacks Series #1, Berlin
A hackathon series focused on creating the next wave of consumer-friendly crypto applications. Whether you're a developer, designer, or marketer, we give you the unique opportunity to team up and develop crypto projects centered on digital ownership and user experience.
On this first weekend, we provided workstations, introductory workshops, and extensive Solana developer resources to facilitate innovation. Did we mention that there were prizes? Read below for the winners of the weekend!
That was just the beginning—and the next Weekend Hack is already planned for July 15-16th. Regardless of experience level, everyone is invited to create crypto apps that the everyday user will love!
Web3 Investor & Ecosystem Night, Hamburg
Setting the stage for the @Blockchance '23 conference, we fired up the week with an electric mixer, co-hosted with CV Labs and in collaboration with Ledger.
It wasn't about pitches, but about creating meaningful connections.
We linked project founders and investors, fostering a rich environment for dialogue and potential partnerships. With the aim to connect our members and Solana builders with German and EU VCs, we built a space where future pitches and big moves could start to take shape.
Solana Developer Workshop, @Blockchance 23, Hamburg
Last week, we ignited the tech scene in Hamburg, hosting a live developer workshop from the @Blockchance '23 conference that attracted over 6,000 Web3 builders. Led by the outstanding Jonas Hahn, we built an on-chain game live.
The workshop not only imparted valuable insights but also showcased Solana's prowess in facilitating real-time development, making it a monumental success. Solana hooked up those lucky enough to snag free passes with some killer networking opportunities.
Show & Tell #1: A Members Only Local Event, Düsseldorf
Our members hosted a Solana community event in Düsseldorf, powered by the Pizza Fund initiative. Dubbed “Show & Tell”, this members-only event invited artists, builders, degens, and curious people into the German Solana space.
Alpha was spilled, details for the upcoming workshop were shared, and new friends were onboarded!
SuperteamDE at the Non Fungible Conference, Lisbon
From June 7-9th, Superteam Germany was present at the sold out NFC Summit in Lisbon, a Web3 event that brings the global NFT community together.
