I actually disagree with all the suggestions in this list 😂

Eth Denver is my favorite conference on the circuit, i love how it tests you physically with the harsh dry weather & mentally  by going on for a really long time

< Start changing locations >

For teams, its good having a fixed city where the research on venues can be reused every year

for attendees, its nice to have a lodestone location we come to every year

imo let other organizers take the mantle for other locations in North America, keep Eth Denver to its home base.

< Don't allow sponsors from alt L1s and keep the name ETH

Eth Denver is the only one of the big 3 conferences that is entirely free. Maintaining that is much more important than any grand signalling

Main event being free also makes it  more accessible for  newcomers

I also love the cross pollination of ideas from other ecosystems, so I personally find worries of cucking ourselves with alt l1 sponsors a bit overblown. May the best ideas win in the battle for attention! 

< Reduce how long the conference is

Are you kidding? I love how Eth Denver goes on for 10 whole days, if i'm flying from halfway around the world i don't want it to end just as im getting started

The feeling of coming out bruised & battered from Denver and experiencing relief as you get on the plane outta there is a sign that its doing something right. no pain, no gain!
