# About Web3Conf ***This page is for the IRL Hacker House submissions*** Web3Conf is India's first-ever Web3.0 conference, launched in 2022, and has completed two editions in Goa, organized by the GirlScript Foundation team. The aim of Web3Conf India is to create a platform where Web3.0 enthusiasts from around the world can come to the largest democracy to form companies, hire talent, invest, and help beginners take their first steps in the world of Web3.0. Did you know that successful Web3.0 entities like Hyderabad DAO started in India after their founders met at Web3Conf? We aim to create similar stories of communities, builders, and entrepreneurs. Goa is the perfect place to rejuvenate, relax, and turn your ideas into reality! Web3Conf 2024 will reflect our and our participants' learnings, experiences, and feedback from the previous two editions in 2022 and 2023. This year, you will witness many changes in execution and format. # Hack Web3Conf Hack Web3Conf is an opportunity for developers and startup founders to bring their ideas to life, connect with like-minded attendees, investors, and receive support from various grants and complimentary passes to the conference.
