I2PCon 2015 was the first event of its kind. It had two short-term goals. First, to provide the general public with an event where knowledge about privacy could be obtained. Second, to further the I2P project and its community with technical discussions about cryptography, anonymity and I2P-centric topics.
A a larger and more long-term goal of this event was to build a commnutiy of privacy-conscious individuals. By connecting people who recognize the importance of privacy, we wanted to provide a forum where this community can grow.
The idea for this event was first spawned by our wonderful friends at Toronto Crypto. The venue was provided by Hacklab.to. The marketing was spearheaded by @YrB1rd and Siew. Without them this event would not have been possible.
