# What to look for
Developer sessions - Developer sessions with leaders discussing key development flaws, controversial topics, EIPs and ERCs, working groups solving development issues.

Curated community - we are trying to keep this event exclusive for community members that are actively participating in Ethereum development, contributed and collaborated on EIPs, participating in Ethereum Core development and governance. Yet we want to keep this event open for public to learn and participate in the ethereum community development

Safe Space - Place for developers, anon builders to discuss any controversial or non-controversial topic, build proposals, solve technical issues, work on existing EIPs and ERCs
