Me and Philipp Zahn are going to have a 2-3 hours long workshop about compositionality at DEVCON VI, the biggest Ethereum developer convention, in Bogotà, Colombia, October 11-14.

We will basically preach about applied category theory to crypto developers. The conference is huge, usually well above ten thousand participants. Let's hope they like category theory!

Title: Compositionality: The 10x engineer secret sauce
Abstract: Proponents of blockchains argue that compositionality is a key feature. What is compositionality though? Maybe surprisingly, there is a rich mathematical framework in which the concept can be made precise as a theory of systems. In this workshop, we provide a primer of that theory and we showcase two practical applications based on it: compositionality in game theory (open games) and in formal verification (automata). The workshop is aimed at devs. There are no mathematical prerequisites.
