*ETHPrague is shaping up to be stacked. We’re still not done, but here’s the confirmed speakers you can already look forward to listening, meeting and talking to.*

Over the past few months, we’ve been teasing speakers one by one, and now it’s time to zoom out and appreciate the bigger picture. This year, we’re bringing together builders, researchers, policy-makers, and absolute OGs across three core themes:

**Ethereum Core · Network Economy · Future Society**

Not just talking about the future: actually building it, _at the same time_.

We’re doing all that inside the insanely iconic Municipal House, which might be the most beautiful hackathon venue on the planet (even though we obviously lack data on this topic). So get ready for marble, gold, history… and a bunch of hackers shipping smart contracts.

Talking about the hackers, our hackathon **prize pool already contains $35,000** and still counting!

**Speaker Highlights**
----------------------

You probably don’t have all day to go through 80+ confirmed speakers. So here are a few names and talks from each conference theme, giving you a glimpse of the topics we’ll be covering.

### 🤖 Future Society

**Marian Goodell**

CEO of Burning Man and a key voice in rethinking how communities organize themselves hits directly into our _Future Society_ track. Marian operates at the intersection of culture, governance, and decentralization, even if she doesn’t always use “web3” language for it. Also: Burning Man has been quietly experimenting with governance models longer than most DAOs have existed.

### 🎯 Ethereum Core

### Cheeky Gorilla

One of the driving forces behind Protocol Guild, an on-chain mechanism that keeps Ethereum's L1 developers funded and free from corporate or VC influence, will join us once again this year. His work bridges open-source reality with crypto economics, often highlighting privacy stacks and real-world dev challenges. Can't wait to see him on stage? [Check out his talk from last year](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fMO6AmTPZI)!

### 💰 Network economy

**Ondřej Kovařík**

Where actual policy meets crypto. Ondřej is a former Member of the European Parliament and has been directly involved in shaping EU financial regulation. His presence brings a crucial angle: **how Ethereum and web3 intersect with real-world legislation**. If you want to understand where regulation is heading (and how not to get wrecked by it), don’t skip this one.

**Why ETHPrague Hits Different**
--------------------------------

ETHPrague isn’t just another conference.

It’s:

*   a **hackathon + conference hybrid**
    
*   happening _simultaneously_
    
*   inside one of Europe’s most stunning buildings
    
*   with tracks that actually reflect where the space is going
    

You’ll move between:

*   deep protocol talks
    
*   economic experiments
    
*   workshops
    
*   wild future-of-society discussions
    
*   an epic hacker hall where ideas turn into code in real time
    

📅 All under one roof. And don’t worry, there will be [side events](https://luma.com/user/ethprague) all around the city as well.

Oh! And also, these are halls we’re gonna take over:

**TL;DR**
---------

*   3 tracks: **Ethereum Core · Network Economy · Future Society**
    
*   $35,000 for our hackers
    
*   Top-tier speakers from tech, culture, and policy
    
*   Builders + thinkers in the same rooms
    
*   Venue: Heart of Europe, center of Prague
    
*   And surroundings that feel more like a palace than a conference hall
    

See you in Prague! 🇨🇿
