Hey everyone, It’s Ashton Addison from EventChain and the Crypto Coin Show and I’d love to give you an update on the blockchain conference and event scene in 2018 including the great events that have happened so far and what large upcoming events are happening in your area. To start, In January I visited the World Crypto Economic Forum in San Francisco which had a great Keynote by Nick Szabo who touched on the centralized nature of cryptocurrency exchanges and a bit about atomic swaps with other speeches from Shawn owen of SALT, Vinny Lingham of Civic and I spoke on the importance of blockchain influencer marketing.
Also in January I attended the North American Bitcoin Conference in Miami where I had the privilege of doing video interviews with people from Polymath, Dash, Credits, Tai Lopez, Lucyd, Decred, and many more. These videos should all be available on our Crypto Coin Show channel. Both Bitcoin Miami and WCEF San Francisco were sponsored by EventChain and turned out to be great events to kick off the year.
More Recently, We sponsored the Polycon conference hosted by PolyMath in the Bahamas where I Interviewed some great projects. I spoke with Trevor Koverko CEO of PolyMath, Nick Spanos of Zap, Crypto Chicks, Atlad Cloud renewable mining, Dr Tsai of ZeU network, Blockchain Foundry and the Syscoin core development team, CoinPayments team, Crypto Chicks and more. I admit Tai Lopez and Trevor from Polymath probably had the most compelling speeches out of the lot. Again it turned out to be a great conference and those videos will be up on our channel in the near future as well.
As for what’s coming up, I am heading to TokenFest in San Francisco for their blockchain event on March 15th and 16th to do some media coverage. We are also sponsoring the Latam blockchain conference March 19th in Argentina, Blockconf March 21st in Melbourne, and Block2thefuture on the USS Hornet Naval aircraft carrier in alameda California on April 4th. An event on an aircraft carrier sounds like a cool one and I know they are giving out free bitcoin and free chicken masala so don’t miss that.
For those in Asia, I’ll be panelling and giving the closing Keynote speech at the TechLaw conference in Singapore on April 4th, hosted by the Singapore Academy of Law on the Smart Regulations for a Digital Economy. I’m sure it will be an eventful experience for everyone. There are some other blockchain conferences in April as well and you can see the full blockchain calendar on our website EventChain.io.
