What will happen in your session?
Participants will first hear from us about what we've discovered so far when attempting to build web based marketplaces which are open and interoperable, contrasting their 'walled garden' predecessors. We'll guide attendees through a workshop where the end result will be them building their own marketplace, for whatever niche they desire. This will help participants understand the importance of open markets, while also teaching them how approachable Ethereum development can be to novices. Finally, the session will be sprinkled with discussions focussing on various questions related to the openness of markets, in an attempt to encourage participants to debate amongst themselves.
What is the goal or outcome of your session?
After the session, participants should have a better understanding of what factors constitute open and closed markets, and the natural benefits which arise from open markets on the web. Along with that understanding, participants will have begun forming opinions of their own, and will have participated in discourse on the topic to further their support for open and healthy web based markets.
If your session requires additional materials or electronic equipment, please outline your needs.
We would need a projector and screen to be able to code live in front of participants.
