Pi Ecosystem Summit Agenda Announced: Premieres on 11/17, 11/18, Pi Next Hackathon Kicks Off on 11/19

The official announcement on November 6 (UTC) released the Summit agenda, providing previously undisclosed schedule topics, broadcast times, and viewing methods for the previously announced Summit. Three-Day Agenda Taiwan Time Conversion: 4:00 PM UTC is 0:00 AM the next day in Taiwan Time (UTC+8). This means Day 1 in Taiwan is 0:00 AM on 11/18, and Day 2 is 0:00 AM on 11/19. (This conversion is provided by OrbitWatch based on official UTC times.) The official statement indicates that each day's content will combine technical demonstrations, new feature announcements, developer integration walkthroughs, and developer discussions. How to Watch: YouTube Premiere Day 1 and Day 2 will be broadcast as YouTube Premieres on the official Pi channel. After the premieres conclude, the full recordings and individual videos will be uploaded separately for easy review later.

Day 3: Pi Next Hackathon The official statement indicates that the new hackathon, Pi Next, will be launched on the last day of the Summit, with a prize pool of 200,000 USDT. This official article does not announce: hackathon participation rules, prize distribution methods, registration links, or the broadcast time for Day 3. These details will be announced by the official team on 11/19. Speakers The official statement indicates that Pi Network founders Chengdiao Fan and Nicolas Kokkalis will participate in the Summit. The article does not specify which day or session they will attend. OrbitWatch's Observations Day 3 has the least information among the three days. While the first two days have topics and times, Day 3 only mentions "Hackathon Launch" without a time or rules. For developers interested in participating, the actual details will only be known on that day. The agenda still doesn't answer the two most frequently asked questions by developers. The agenda topics are developer platform, ecosystem plans, and AI, but there's no mention of when smart contracts will be open to third parties or the mainnet migration process. OrbitWatch will update after the event, comparing the actual content to see if these two points are addressed during the discussion sessions.
