Next Block Expo aims to become the largest blockchain festival in Europe
The first edition of the Next Block Expo will be held in Berlin on 23 and 24 November 2022 with more than 5,000 participants. Four months from now, the Berlin station will be the most important place in the European blockchain map, connecting the most important names in the industry.
“We are bringing founders, investors and blockchain experts together to redefine and discover the future of Web3,” said Tom Kopera, co-founder of Next Block Expo.
Along with the 5,000 people attending, another 10,000 will be watching online. The venue has plenty of space to host more than 100 exhibitors and sponsors, while everyone will get the chance to listen to more than 50 top blockchain speakers.
Next Block Expo is the largest blockchain festival in Europe dedicated to Web3 startups, regardless of their stage of development. The event brings together founders, angel and retail investors, venture capital firms, developers and software houses, and all kinds of industry experts.
There will be six types of events to attend. The most influential people in the blockchain space will share their visions of Web3 from the main stage in the form of presentations, while round tables will provide an opportunity to understand different perspectives from specialists and experts. During the Workshops, experts will share their insight and knowledge with the participants. All exhibitors will be able to submit their projects to the pitch competition, where the best startups will be selected by experts. Hackathons are also planned for hardcore developers who want to learn hands-on, as well as side events organized directly by startups for their communities.
The conference will be divided into six content tracks:
- DeFi
- Blockchain games
- Metaverse/NFTs
- Scaling and infrastructure
- Web3 discovery
- Collection and investment
“It’s a unique opportunity to either find partners for your project, talk to investors and venture capital firms, see what’s ‘hyped’ and maybe find the next big thing to invest in,” says Kopera. “But most importantly, we want to focus on the future of Web3 – we are witnessing a new economy that is a combination of what Web3 has already created, and now traditional sectors are jumping in. So let’s discuss, brainstorm and share our vision of the future.”
The Next Block Expo is an extension of a previous series of events held under the name Cryptocurrency World Expo for the past six years.
