The second Scaling Bitcoin Workshop will be held this year in Milan, Italy from October 8th-9th with a focus to provide a physical space for software developers and researchers, working on projects related to bitcoin, to meet and discuss the challenges and solutions related to bitcoin scalability.
According to the event website, the workshop will be held at the Politecnico di Milano Piazza Leonardo da Vinci, 32 20133 Milano - Italy.
