Bitcoin Design members have been involved in organizing various events (and sometimes just attend, too). Here below is what do we want to do in 2025:
- **[Designathon 2](https://github.com/BitcoinDesign/Meta/issues/625)** - We are organizing this event between February or March.
- **[Accessibility Day](https://accessibility.day)** - May 15
- - BDC has participated in this global initiative the last two years. Probably doing so again!
- **[BTC Prague](https://btcprague.com)** -Participation Confirmed. Planning issues [here](https://github.com/BitcoinDesign/Meta/issues/745) - June 19 - 21
- * We organized the design track for dev day in 2023 and 2024. Do this again[\[k\]](#cmnt11)[\[l\]](#cmnt12)? It’s going to be on June 18, before the main conference.
- * 2024 was great, in that we had a nice group of designers attend, do talks, go for dinner, etc.
- **[Summer of Bitcoin](https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.summerofbitcoin.org)**
- * Several designers and projects participated each of the last 3 years. Probably doing so again!
- * Applications open on Feb 1, main program is May to August ([timeline](https://www.summerofbitcoin.org/how-it-works/)
- **UX Bootcamps**
- * Previous: South America
- * Next: [South America](https://www.bitcoinuxbootcamp.xyz/southamerica) - February 17 - 22
- **[Bitshala fellowship](https://bitshala.org)**
- * First iteration of this fellowship is from January to July
- * We will help find more designers, projects, and funding in India
- **[Oslo Freedom Forum](https://oslofreedomforum.com)** - Oslo, May 26-28
- * Activist and financial repression use cases are uniquely important use cases for bitcoin.
- * Several people attended last year. Conversations lead to new initiatives.
- **[BTCHEL](https://btchel.com/)** - by BTC Helsinki Community - Aug 15-16
- * First large-scale bitcoin conference in the Nordics with particular focus to onboard new users to bitcoin
- **Bitcoin Presidio design week**
- * This is a new Bitcoin co-working space in San Francisco, also announced here https://stacker.news/items/860931/r/Design_r. The idea came up to organize a design week there to support the creation of art and decoration for the new co-working space. Just an idea at the moment, but why not make it happen?
- * [Discussion issue](https://github.com/BitcoinDesign/Meta/issues/746).
- **BuildWithLDK**
- * An initiative to promote LDK and LDK Node for building lightning applications. There could be collaboration around a Designathon, connecting designers with hackathon projects, etc. Still in early planning.
- **Builder conferences**: These are very builder-focused, making them good opportunities to connect, organize practical design workshops, creative presentations, and support projects from a design perspective
- * [Baltic Honeybadger](https://baltichoneybadger.com) (August 9-10),
- * [TABConf](http://tabconf.com)
- * [Bitcoin++](https://btcplusplus.dev) There are going to be 6 of them throughout the year.
- * [SATS’N’FACTS](https://satsandfacts.btc.pub/) (February 8-10) Bitcoin Technical Unconference, Hackathon & Freedom Tech Art Exhibition
- **Open-source conferences & events*
- * [FOSS Backstage](http://foss-backstage.de) (Berlin, Mar 10-11) - Christoph will present the Open Design Guide
- * [FOSDEM](https://fosdem.org/2025/) (Brussels, Feb 1-2) - anyone attending?
- **Design conferences & events** - Makes sense to be involved with design-only events, right?
* [OFFF](https://www.offf.barcelona) - very creative-focused (Barcelona, May 8-10)
* [CSUN Accessibility conference](https://www.csun.edu/cod/conference/sessions/)
**Other Ideas**
* Bitcoin Park - they might organize another design event like two years ago https://stacker.news/items/705081/r/Design_r
