DUBAI, UAE, April 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- TOKEN2049, the
premier crypto event, saw record-breaking success for its
inaugural Dubai conference, which took place from April 18-19, during TOKEN2049 Week.
Throughout the event, attendees experienced an impressive range
of panel discussions, keynotes, workshops, and exclusive networking
opportunities, overcoming torrential rain to show up in force.
Tickets for TOKEN2049 Dubai sold
out nearly three weeks prior to the event, with 10,000 attendees
expected. Despite the UAE's heaviest rainfall in 75 years, the
conference opened to a full-house.
Alex Fiskum, Co-Founder of
TOKEN2049 said: "This week we witnessed the determination of
the crypto industry first hand. Our team worked around the clock to
ensure that the conference proceeded without any disruptions,
maintaining the highest standards of hospitality for our attendees.
Our programme proceeded and our doors opened as planned, welcoming
attendees to a comfortable, immersive, and action-packed event. We
are immensely proud of everyone who contributed to making TOKEN2049
Dubai an overwhelming
success."
TOKEN2049 Dubai was host to 90%
international attendees hailing from over 160 countries worldwide.
The global crypto community came out in full strength to
participate, showcasing the growing reputation of Dubai as a hub for crypto innovation. The
global representation also cemented TOKEN2049 as the marquee
industry event in the crypto calendar, not to be missed.
Travel disruptions early in the week saw large numbers of
speakers and attendees diverted across the Middle East, all of whom surmounted
significant obstacles to attend and participate at TOKEN2049
Dubai. Amongst the 200+ leading
industry voices who took to the stage to share their insights,
discuss the most prevalent topics in Web3, and unveil exciting news
announcements were Pavel Durov, the
visionary CEO of Telegram; Richard
Teng, CEO of Binance; Paolo
Ardoino, CEO of Tether; and Arthur
Hayes, Co-Founder of BitMEX.
Some standouts include a joint announcement onstage by Tether
and Telegram that USDT will launch on The Open Network (TON) and
Telegram wallet; Polkadot's Gavin
Wood introduced a new JAM chain graypaper; Berachain
announced a collaboration with Google Cloud; and Telos unveiled a
partnership with Ponos Technology to develop a hardware-accelerated
Ethereum L2 zkEVM network, amongst many more ground-breaking
announcements.
Fiskum continued: "We have received overwhelmingly
positive feedback from all participants across TOKEN2049
Dubai. Energized by this success,
we now shift focus to prepare for the industry's largest event of
the year — TOKEN2049 Singapore,
taking place on September 18-19
before the Formula 1 Grand Prix weekend. TOKEN2049 Singapore will welcome 20,000 attendees to the
iconic Marina Bay Sands, continuing
to set new standards for the industry."
TOKEN2049 Dubai will return in
2025, promising an even more immersive experience for prolific
industry leaders, Web3 builders, global entrepreneurs, and tens of
thousands of crypto enthusiasts.
