What is BlockYard?
BlockYard is an international gathering of people interested in broadly defined blockchain technology: developers, startups, FinTech specialists, miners, cryptocurrency enthusiasts, and others.
We will talk about earning money from mining, making smart investments in blockchain-based projects, as well as the future of cryptocurrencies and blockchain in general.
The conference aims to open a space for free exchange of information and experience, as well as for building contacts between individuals and organizations variously involved with distributed consensus networks.
BlockYard is directed at both veteran blockchain aficionados and complete beginners taking their very first steps in the field.

Centrum Stocznia Gdańska
About
Located in the very center of downtown Gdańsk, nearby the famous Solidarity Square, building 89A of the Gdańsk Shipyard is a rare gem of European post-industrial architecture. Before World War II, it was used by the German Kriegsmarine as a U-boot assembly plant. After the war, it was converted to peaceful purposes. Since mid-2004, under the name CENTRUM STOCZNIA GDAŃSKA (Gdańsk Shipyard Center), it serves as the seat of the European Culture and Education Centre.
Address:
Doki 1, enter through CSG entrance from ul. Lisia Grobla, 80-858 Gdańsk, Poland
