The Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) is making waves in the United States with a packed schedule featuring blockchain, AI, and a grand office opening. From a high-profile event at UC Berkeley to an exclusive gathering in San Francisco, ICP is stepping into the spotlight with some of its sharpest minds leading the conversation.
Jan Camenisch, Chief Technology Officer at the DFINITY Foundation, will speak at UC Berkeley on February 11, sharing his insights on privacy and security in decentralized computing. With over 140 patents to his name and a career spanning IBM Research and cryptographic breakthroughs, Camenisch’s lecture promises a look into the next evolution of secure digital identity solutions. Joining him is Pierre Samaties, Chief Business Officer at DFINITY, whose background in Web3 consulting and AI innovation makes him a key voice in the future of blockchain and artificial intelligence. The event will also feature a discussion on decentralized AI, with speakers from PIN AI, Hinkal, Keygate Vault, and Surge.
On February 12, DFINITY will open the doors to its new San Francisco office. The event invites blockchain enthusiasts, investors, and developers to celebrate the future of decentralized computing over drinks and networking.
The following day, February 13, the ICP Hub North America Alliance will host an event at the Edge & Node House of Web3 in San Francisco. Industry experts will dive into the latest advancements in blockchain, AI, and decentralized applications, with opportunities to connect with key players shaping the space.
Behind this push is the DFINITY Foundation, a Swiss-based organization dedicated to developing a fully decentralized internet. The foundation has supported over 500 grants worldwide and remains one of the largest blockchain research initiatives in Switzerland. Meanwhile, Quantum Leap Labs, the official accelerator for ICP HUB Canada & US, continues to mentor and fund Web3 projects, providing the infrastructure for developers to build on ICP’s fully on-chain platform.
For those looking to explore the next chapter of blockchain and AI, these events offer a front-row seat to the action. Whether it’s cryptographic breakthroughs, decentralized AI, or networking with some of the industry’s brightest minds, ICP’s presence in the US is one to watch.
