The Privacy Meetup - Hosted by Aztec and Noir
We’re getting everyone who cares about privacy into one old Western saloon.
After taking over Devconnect Argentina, Aztec and Noir are kicking off the Privacy Meetup series at ETH Denver. The Privacy Meetup is your chance to re-connect with the people building frontier privacy tech, and make new friends. It'll be casual, mostly networking, with a couple ~10 min talks sprinkled in.
If you’re building, researching, or simply believe privacy matters, please apply! We’d love to host you.
The Programming
For this first event, we’ll open with quick updates on Aztec, share updates on the Noir 1.0 launch, and collectively discover why private applications will matter even more in 2026 than they did last year.
From there, we’ll move into two and a half hours of drinks, conversations, and time with the people building across the privacy ecosystem.
The Venue
The Privacy Meetup will take place inside the Legacy Building, on the first floor in the Legacy Saloon.
The Legacy Building is connected to the BUIDLHub Arena, which sits alongside the main ETH Denver event. The Legacy Saloon is a warm, character-filled space designed as an authentic turn-of-the-century saloon. With its tin ceiling, small stage, and historic décor drawn from the Stock Show archives, the space blends nostalgia with a refined atmosphere.
We’re excited to host our first Privacy Meetup at ETH Denver in this setting.
