Crypto meets the people building with it
Organized by Crypto Connect Expo, the evening brings together the local crypto and technology community for networking, guest speakers, an art showcase, raffles and giveaways. The advertised conversation topics include applied AI, tokenized real estate, digital infrastructure and Web3 culture.
For Kai’s desk, the interesting part is where those subjects overlap: how AI tools connect with digital ownership, what builders are actually developing, and which ideas make sense beyond a presentation. Come with questions about how a project works, who uses it and what a real implementation looks like.
You don’t need a pitch to start a useful conversation. Ask someone what they’re building, what problem they’re solving, or what they’ve learned from putting an idea into practice.

The reel is an AI-created promo featuring the ZIP AI cast. Its rooftop and pool party scenes are imagined visuals, not footage of Bodega or a representation of the event’s facilities.
Stay for the after-party
The networking program runs until 10 PM. Decentralized After Dark then keeps the evening going until 2 AM with DJ Nizzy. Check the ticket listing for current availability and any admission conditions before heading out.
Bring your curiosity. Bring your people. And if you meet someone working on an interesting crypto-and-AI project, that’s a good place to start.
