Web3 Move Part Time Jobs

BackgroundThe Ethereum Foundation (EF) is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting Ethereum and related technologies. The EF is not a company or even a traditional non-profit. We do not control Ethereum, nor are we the only organization that funds the critical development of Ethereum-related technologies. We are part of a large ecosystem of organizations, individuals, and companies that support Ethereum. Our mission is to do what is best for Ethereum’s long-term success.First introduced in 2022, Devconnect has evolved into a space for deep discussions, co-working, and innovation. This year, we aim to take it even further—transforming Devconnect into a "World’s Fair" for Ethereum, aiming at  fostering ecosystem progress, collaboration, and most importantly: adoption.  We want to create a Schelling point where the community and newcomers can gather to learn about, showcase, and experience real-world Ethereum applications.We want to support an ecosystem-wide effort and contribute to the local communities' goal to make Argentina the crypto capital of the world. We hope the broader Ethereum ecosystem can work together with the local ecosystem to move the country toward greater Ethereum adoption. **For a look at our previous Devconnect editions: in Amsterdam in April 2022, see here: https://devconnect.org/amsterdam; and Istanbul in November 2023 https://devconnect.org/istanbul.About the Role"A place for everything and everything in its place"As a Production Magician, you’ll be part of our in-house event production team using your local knowledge, local connection, and event production experience to help make Devconnect great.  We expect you to be passionate about events, attendee experience, Ethereum values, and energized by working on many different types of tasks.This role would encompass many different aspects of event production, assisting with overseeing and managing vendors (venue, AV, ticketing, translation, BTL company, catering, internet, and design among others), facilitating collaboration between vendors whenever possible, managing volunteers, organizing logistics, speaker relationships, having good communication.
