Spazio 21

Spazio 21 is a two-day, free Bitcoin education event held on October 23–24, 2026 at Asilo Ciani in Lugano, Switzerland, as part of the wider Plan ₿ Week running October 19–28. The program combines talks and panels in a central Patio with five parallel hands-on workshop rooms covering self-custody, running Bitcoin nodes, mining, transactions and the Lightning Network, and privacy and free and open-source software (FOSS). An always-staffed Info Point lets attendees ask both technical and non-technical questions, and sessions begin at 10:00 each day. The practical format emphasizes learning by doing rather than sales pitches.

The event is designed for every level, from complete beginners who want to learn how to safely hold their own bitcoin to experienced users who want practical guidance on running nodes, mining, and privacy tools. Sessions are delivered in Italian and feature well-known figures from the Italian Bitcoin scene, making the event especially valuable for Italian-speaking communities in Switzerland and Italy. You should attend because admission is free, the workshops are hands-on, and the parallel-room format lets you choose the topics that matter most to you. Attendees can also join a peer-to-peer Keet chat for announcements and speaker Q&A, meet the local community, and combine Spazio 21 with other Plan ₿ Week events across Lugano.
