FAQ

Breakpoint 2023 will be located on the Solana Campus at TAETS Arts and Event Park, 15 minutes from central Amsterdam. All speaker venues will be within a few minutes walk of each other!

Free transportation will be provided between IJcatcher in central Amsterdam and TAETS Arts and Event Park for Breakpoint attendees. See the city in style with regular ferries, or take a short 15-minute shuttle bus ride to campus — both will pick up from IJcatcher.

A Breakpoint ticket includes talks, workshops, in-person experiences, celebrations, and opportunities to connect with the entire Solana ecosystem.

Don’t worry — Breakpoint is for builders, and the Solana Foundation wants to ensure that it’s within reach to almost everyone in the Solana community. Applications for programs for developer, creator, and student programs will be coming soon.

These programs are subsidized with the support of the larger Solana ecosystem.

Content creator tickets are a ticket class available to the educators, vloggers, podcasters, and more who talk about the Solana community. Anyone who creates video, audio, visual, or written content such as blogs, articles, tutorials, and more is welcome to apply by October 1!
