TABConf 2023, A Technical Bitcoin Conference, is kicking off in Atlanta this week. As part of this unique event, we're thrilled to announce our presence at this year'sTABConf 2023 at the Omni Atlanta Hotel from September 6th to 9th. This year, alongside our partners at ZBD, we're introducing something truly electric - theLightning Village.

The Lightning Village promises to be an arena of discovery. Here, attendees can dive into the exciting realm of earning sats while gaming. More than just a lecture space, imagine this village as PlebLab's social lounge, where you can immerse yourself in the intricacies of the lightning network and connect with like-minded developers.

What's even more remarkable about TABConf this year? The spirit of open-source! The event's schedule, including talks, panels, and workshops, is curated through a community-driven Github Project. It's incredible to see the spirit of collaboration at its best.

And guess what? The builders at PlebLab will be having talks throughout the conference. Highlighted sessions include:
