Polkadot is coming to Rust Nation '23

    By PolkadotFebruary 14, 2023

    Rust has always been an integral part of the Polkadot ecosystem. It is the foundation of Substrate - the blockchain framework Polkadot and all of its parachains are built upon - and a large portion of the Polkadot community are amazing Rust developers. So it only seemed logical for Polkadot to join Rust Nation.

    What is Rust Nation?

    Rust Nation ‘23 is the first UK conference dedicated to the Rust language. It will be held at The Brewery, in the heart of London, on the 16th & 17th of February 2023 and will include workshops, keynotes, four speaker tracks, and an evening social event hosted by the Polkadot community.

You’ll have the opportunity to discover how the teams on Polkadot are pushing the boundaries of Web3, learn more about all the cool stuff being built on this next-gen tech, and find out how you can join the movement for a better web.

    The Polkadot Sessions

    On the evening of February 17th, the Polkadot community will host a post-conference party. All attendees of the main conference day are invited. Drop by the King George room of The Brewery from 5:30pm - 9:30pm for food, drinks, and amazing sessions from the best DJs on Parity’s staff.
