So it will be in different places on the map simultaneously? I'm curious how many will there be in Europe.

Amsterdam, Arnhem, Manchester, Copenhagen, Helsinki, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Tallinn...

Quite a long way from where I'm at. I should get busy and get some BTC if I want to get there.

You should get some BTC, anyways! Whereabouts are you located?

CoinFest might have an app on the way. Please reach out if you want to help with development.

Lots of updates to coinfest.org. The 2016 page now details the speakers and times for the International Hangout, information about the decentralized games, and links to local events. Updates are currently ongoing... we just need event postings from all the local event organizers to add them. Super excited to have speakers like Andreas Antonopoulos, Paul Snow and Susanne Tempelhof on board.

Prizes are being announced for the decentralized games, lasting the duration of CoinFest. The Huntercoin community has put down 30K HUC--currently worth around 0.75 BTC--as prize money reserved for players who can stay alive. CoinFest Global will also contribute 1 BTC to the prize pools for Grabbit games held throughout April 5-10.

More awesome announcements on the way.

I will refer people to the this link, if that works:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1025564.msg14360894#msg14360894
(which is the msg 2 posts up thread here.)  I am not sure I'll have time to do a website justice...unfortunately.

GameCredits is now a Global Sponsor in addition to being a CoinFest UK sponsor. Their game TurboCharged will be part of the Decentralized Arcade, and they'll be on the Gaming on the Blockchain panel that was just added to the International Hangout--please see the new Hangout schedule. You'll also notice that we have another activity called the Wheel of Bitcoin, where Tim Tayshun shows up on the projector screen at events around the world and spins the wheel for a lucky guest. The guest wins whatever prize the Wheel lands on, which includes novelties like a BitNation hardware wallet and 100 trillion Zimbabwean dollars.

Happy CoinFest, everyone! Tomorrow will be the first Grabbit games, a product of Gamerholic & GamerholicCoin. We've put .1 each in two prize pools for Europe and East Asia to participate in; events will occur in Vancouver, Tampa Bay, Switzerland, Amsterdam and Korea. Please check the schedule so you don't miss Andreas Antonopoulos (20:00 UTC).

More last-minute changes have been made to the global map, as well. Some planned events were lost, but Korea and Niagara were added, and a surprise is brewing in Shanghai. More news tomorrow!
