BlockShow 2018 to disrupt Europe with its largest conference ever

Roughly two months after the big and successful event in Singapore, BlockShow team comes back to announce BlockShow Europe 2018 - the brand’s third big conference dedicated to discovering the hottest innovations, trends and sensations currently happening in both European and Global Blockchain scenes. 

This time the event will be held on May 28 and 29; the organising team decided not to move too far from the previous location, having chosen Berlin as a place for the upcoming conference.

Why this city exactly? Berlin was chosen as one of the main European centres for FinTech and Blockchain development; apart from that, large concentration of investments, startups and innovative businesses makes the city a capital for many trending industries.

Look How We’ve Grown!

This time, just like previous ones, BlockShow will bring you the most interesting Blockchain applications, latest sensations, a lot of high-quality content and networking experience. With each new event, the BlockShow team keeps increasing the pace and extent of its activities.

This May, BlockShow Europe will be visited by more than 3.000 attendees; the conference exhibition will include more than 150 projects and over 120 organisations and companies will provide their support for the upcoming event. These are twice as many values as were shown during the recent conference in November 2017 and on average 5 times bigger than it was in Munich last April.

What’s the Focus?

BlockShow Europe will reveal the most innovative releases from the promising Blockchain companies, the most successful projects, as well as rich and versatile insights on how Blockchain disrupts major global industries, such as IoT, AI, Cybersecurity, Voting & Elections and many others. At the same time, BlockShow welcomes representatives of Central Banks and European governments who will share their vision and current experience of harnessing the Blockchain technology.

Top Blockchain experts around the globe claim 2018 to be the year of global Blockchain regulations, so there is no way BlockShow won’t raise this question at the main stage of the upcoming event. BlockShow's greatest aspiration is to reach balance and fairness for the global Blockchain law, and this is BlockShow's way of contributing to one of the main Blockchain topics of 2018.

BlockShow Europe 2018 is going to bring together over 70 internationally recognised speakers and experts from banks, institutions and numerous global industries; during single speeches, discussions and panel sessions, all of them will deliver high-quality professional insights, knowledge and more. Here are some of the first of them:

  • Llew Claasen - Venture Capitalist & Executive Director at Bitcoin Foundation
  • Milan Sallaba: Partner at Deloitte Consulting
  • Ahmed Syed: Lead, Innovation Office at SAP
  • Ivan Liljeqvist: Speaker, Blockchain Influencer at Ivan On Tech
  • David Lee: Professor, Entrepreneur, Director and Advisor at LeftCoast
  • Dr. Julian Hosp: Co-Founder & President at TenX
  • Joern Leogrande: Executive VP, Innovation Labs at Wirecard AG
  • Ildar Fazulyanov: CEO and Founder at Well Inc.
  • Eugéne Etsebeth: Business Unit Head, Payments and ACH / Central Banks at Sybrin

And yet this is a very small part of what the team is preparing. Each year aims to bring more show to the whole concept of BlockShow, so there is no doubt this time the event will be packed with even bigger exhibition, expanded networking opportunities and other entertaining activities. Both of BlockShow's Startup Competitions were a truly exciting and fun experience; this year, BlockShow will proceed with this great tradition of discovering and rewarding the most promising Blockchain-powered companies out there, so if you are a Blockchain entrepreneur - don’t miss out on this chance!

Experts’ Opinion

For the whole time of its existence, BlockShow became a platform for over 100 worldwide Blockchain experts, as well as 400+ companies from around the globe. Some of them have already expressed their thoughts about the BlockShow events:

“BlockShow is really great. I’ve been to a bunch of events in the US and this was my first trip outside of the US in the last four years and had to pick a good event. Cointelegraph is not new to the industry, you guys have been around for many years. So it’s not like there are a few events funded by these new entities that do not really understand what the vision was. Of course, you have to know where you came from to know where you are going. So it is a great choice for you guys to organize the BlockShow. It was super awesome and exciting”. - Charlie Shrem, Founder of the Bitcoin Foundation, Founder at CryptoIQ

“We thought it was a well put together event! The BlockShow Team accommodated us very well with our special requirements of moving our Lamborghini in. Presentation stage gave us a fantastic opportunity to explain our product to attendees. Network opportunities were great there, with dedicated spaces to allow for this and after parties organized by Blockshow. We were very impressed with all the extra effort put in with the artwork, CT and Blockshow style. Overall we had a fantastic three days and would be keen to be a part of the next event BlockShow event! Well done”. - Sheree Ip, Legal & Blockchain Development at BitCar
