intro: |
Privacy advocates worldwide are coming together to discuss how to mainstream privacy within the Web3 industry. So it will become a cultural phenomenon embodying both decentralisation & anti-surveillance capitalism practices.
The conference complements the research projects [Web3Privacy Now](http://web3privacy.info/) and was created by joining forces with the production team of the privacy hackathon [ETHBrno](https://ethbrno.cz/).
Part of [Prague Blockchain Week 2023](http://prgblockweek.com/).

#- title: Why event isn't admission free?
