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.
