Late last year we (,
,
and Marcos) started a Blockchain and crypto themed meet-up group
with a few other likeminded souls here in the Crypto Valley of Zug in Switzerland.
Our topics were and still are:
For that we founded the CryptoWorldZug Meetup in January and we grew from 10 members to 310 and counting. Feel free to join us if you feel like it, we are welcoming all new members with open arms.

https://www.meetup.com/Crypto-World-Zug/We have been hosting weekly meetups since the beginning of the year and had a great time doing that. Around March we found out that the location we had been able to use freely would no longer be available. So we had to start looking for another place and landed on the Office lab in Zug. It was the renovated post office that had been turned into a nice modern co-working space.
The one catch was... it was no longer free and so we had to start to pay monthly rent. For that we had to set up a non profit association so that we would have a legal entity in case anything happened.
To fund our activities we invited some ICO's to come and present their projects and after the first couple we made it a requirement that if they did want to tell their story it would not be in the form of a sales pitch since we wanted it to remain educational. This was a concept that worked quite well and out of these contacts we came up with a second idea
We got our heads together and set up our CryptoWorldZug conference that we hosted with a nice educational theme in the Parkhotel in Zug on the 12th and 13th of June. Again lots of voluntary work with some expenses involved. Another step further and another experience richer.
