# A warm Horizon Hello to all! ## Summer is in full steam, and so is Horizon! First off, we’ve just launched into more social channels with both our own [Twitter account](https://twitter.com/nearhorizon) and a [Linkedin page](https://www.linkedin.com/company/nearhorizon/)! So if you couldn’t get enough of Horizon, then you’re in for a treat. Our partnership with [Encode Club](https://pages.near.org/blog/near-horizon-and-encode-club-accelerating-blockchain-mastery-for-builders/?_gl=1*y1b3kv*_up*MQ..*_ga*MTYxODAwMTM2MS4xNjg1NTI2NzA2*_ga_9GWCXQJ62J*MTY4NTUyNjcwNC4xLjEuMTY4NTUyNjcxMS4wLjAuMA..) kicked off last week with a [TW Spaces](https://twitter.com/nearhorizon/status/1665726159663910912?s=20) AMA featuring our very own **Laura Cunningham**. This program will last throughout the year, premiering with an [Encode x NEAR Educate](https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/cc/encode-x-near-horizon-2023-educate-2266649) series covering NEAR, Horizon, BOS, Aurora, and more. Open to all! Keep an eye out for session recordings on the [Horizon Learning](https://near.org/nearhorizon.near/widget/Index?tab=learn) page. Calling all #Web3 hackers! We have partnered with [Major League Hacking](https://mlh.io/) for their Web3 BUILD #hackathon on June 30th. Winners will receive an exclusive invite to their inaugural 3-month Web3 MLH Fellowship Incubator program. Register through the [event site](https://organize.mlh.io/participants/events/9852-web3-build-hackathon-hosted-in-partnership-with-near-horizon). We are currently reviewing all the submissions for our upcoming networking and pitching event taking place in Toronto during [Collision](https://collisionconf.com/) on **June 27th, from 6pm-9pm EDT**. This is the last day to [register to pitch](https://airtable.com/shr0AmrMYNHnINZiK)!! It will be another fun night with Horizon, so be sure to [RSVP](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/near-horizon-pitch-networking-collision-2023-tickets-637516598307) if interested in attending. Finally, let’s celebrate all the new traffic on the Horizon platform! 127 project profiles have been added to the app so far with more and more contribution requests being made and accepted with a total of 7 among 19 contributors. Shout out to [Veriken](https://near.org/nearhorizon.near/widget/Index?tab=project&accountId=veriken.near) for being the first to respond to a request! On average, projects have about 34% of their profiles completed; props to [Ample](https://near.org/nearhorizon.near/widget/Index?tab=project&accountId=ampleplatform.near) for having the most complete profile. We are thrilled with the reception and buzz Horizon has received so far, and are working hard to bring new features and content to help Web3 founders get what they need to succeed.
