The biggest blockchain event in Europe will take place in Barcelona from October 24 to 27. The European Blockchain Convention 9 (EBC9), which is slated for the capital of Catalonia, will be the biggest gathering of its type in the second half of 2023. With an expected 5,000 attendees, it will also be the biggest European Blockchain Convention since the event began in 2018.
The last weekend of October will be busy in Barcelona when EBC9 arrives and industry professionals swarm to the three-day crypto convention. The highly anticipated El Clásico match between Barcelona and Real Madrid also takes place at the same time as the conference.
The European Blockchain Convention 9 will include 300 founders, CEOs, and business leaders, including senior executives from Nansen, Fidelity, Fabric Ventures, and Animoca Brands. There will be speakers from conventional businesses like Banco Santander and Volkswagen in addition to senior executives from top blockchain firms. Moreover, senior representatives from Galaxy Digital and Binance Labs will also be present.
Victoria Gago, co-founder of European Blockchain Convention, said: “We have seen a significant increase in registrations and interest from exhibitors and sponsors alike after the overwhelmingly positive feedback we got from our previous edition. Building on that momentum, we are moving EBC9 to Fira Barcelona, a much larger venue. As the largest convention centre in Spain, it offers ample space for exhibitors, a greater variety of content, and more engaging experiences.”
“We are extremely excited to bring together the worlds of TradFi, digital assets and web3,” shared fellow co-founder Daniel Salmeron. “The participation of so many traditional banks and financial institutions demonstrates their commitment and optimism about the future of crypto and digital assets.”
The program for the ninth European Blockchain Convention will cover a wide range of topics, including tokenization, the rise of AI, regulatory issues, CBDCs, privacy, institutionalizing cryptocurrency, and DeFi.
A 3,000 sqm display space for sponsors and exhibitors is included in the program in addition to panel discussions and workshops held on three stages. Additionally, there will be five themed networking lounges, 1-to-1 meeting spaces, and AMA sessions with speakers. An investor meeting, an exhibition, and the second iteration of the EBC Start-up Awards are among the additional activities planned for EBC9.
There will also be a 48-hour hackathon with 200+ hackers, 30+ mentors, and 20 teams as the main participants. This event will be at the top of the list of side events.
