Latest Pillar Updates
Before the Unconference update, I'd like to invite you to two MeetUps...
London Blockchain Breakfast Meetup ☕
We have a monthly meetup in London to present and discuss current blockchain topics. These events take place at our Rise London HQ in the mornings. The next one is March 8th, where Edan Yago will be talking about the current state of blockchains and consensus mechanisms.
Sign up for the LBB Meetup on March 8th

Vilnius Summer Event - #PillarUnconference 2018We will have our big conference in Vilnius, Lithuania, July 15th-22nd, at the Vilnius Grand Resort and Spa. In fact, Malwina, Constance, and I are there right now looking at the facilities and planning the agenda. You’ll pay for your flight, hotel, and meals, and we’ll pay for the conference and the big Friday party event. You’ll also get a special Vilnius Pillar t-shirt.
This will be an unconference - we’ll be making it up as we go. It works far better than planning an agenda. If you want to contribute anything, come prepared. Our first goal is to get people signed up, so we have commitments and can make all our arrangements in Vilnius. Then we’ll work on how you can get involved as a speaker, workshop leader, staff, etc.
There will be three main tracks: entrepreneurship, developing for our platform, and music. 👔
The entrepreneur track will have two parts: my business-agility lectures, which will take place each morning first thing, then we’ll be working with entrepreneurs to build their businesses on the Pillar wallet. This first year, the wallet will be similar to eBay, so we’ll be working with teams who want to put products and services onto the wallet.
We are looking for our Pillar pioneers - people who are serious about building a business on top of our wallet. We’ll be talking about all the developments coming up and how you can participate in our new ecosystem.
💻
The developer track will be learning about our SDK and how to put products and services on the wallet. We will have workshops on our taxonomy, findability, formats, APIs, coding, and smart contracts. Whether you learn or teach, it should be a fun and fruitful week.
🎶
The music festival is for you to bring your instruments and your talent and make it even more fun. We want the Pillar summer event to be the Woodstock of the crypto world. So if you have a band, a show, or you can entertain people in any way, please jump into the Summer Event 2018 channel in our online community and help us plan an amazing event! We need people to help us make this work, so if you are on the production side, you are more than welcome to get involved. It’s an unconference. It’s also a music unfestival.
Every one of our events is always a hiring event. If you want a job with Pillar, I encourage you to come to Vilnius and participate - we don’t interview!For Families 👪
We will have a kids’ camp option as a separate package. We’re working on that now. The resort has a lot of things to do, and we’ll be organizing various bus tours to town and to surrounding sights. We’ll also have shuttle buses going into and out of town continuously.
Golf Packages 🏌
The resort offers a championship-level golf course. Since we’re taking over the event and since not that many of us play golf, our golfers should have good access. If you want to volunteer to help us set up golf, foursomes, etc., please contact me.
The Pillar Store 👕
We are working with volunteers to plan a Pillar products store for this event. If you want to help with that, please let us know.
Events with the Lithuanian Community 📍
We’ll be interacting heavily with the local tech/blockchain/crypto community. Pillar project has a small office in Vilnius. We are planning to do workshops with local entrepreneurs, educators, and government officials.
Excursion to St Petersburg 🛫
We will offer an additional one-week trip to St Petersburg, Russia, leaving Vilnius on Sunday the 22nd and allowing you to return home after 4-5 nights. St Petersburg is a must-see destination, and end of July is one of the best times of year to be there. I highly recommend this trip. And, because it’s not put together, I’m asking if any volunteers can help us arrange it. Russian-speakers and those who have connections to St Petersburg are encouraged to contact me.
