John and Sam talk about the origin of Opolis and the growth of EthDenver.

John entered into the blockchain space at the very beginning of Ethereum. He took the local meet-ups in Denver in 2017 and turned the community from just shy of 200 people into a conference that registered over 25,000 people in 2023 -- all at zero-cost to the attendees.

Leveraging 15 years in the HR space, John also built the largest payroll service custom built for the independent contractor. Self-employed, independent workers choose the way they want to work, when they want to work and who they want to work for. They get to choose how to express their unique creativity. Opolis represents a new paradigm for employment - one where mutualistic outcomes prevail for workers and the projects they serve.

With hours upon hours of talks, panels, work-shops and keynotes - EthDenver is one of the most influential conferences in the blockchain space. You can visit their YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@ETHDenver and catch up with the latest in the industry.
