BlockShow goes to Berlin after a two-month, fun-filled trip across major European cities that hosted a series of eight meetups with blockchain enthusiasts and professionals. BlockShow Europe will culminate with the conference in the capital of Germany on May 28-29, where over 80 industry leaders and acknowledged experts will share their vision on multiple issues related to best practices, trends, and developments in the blockchain/crypto ecosystem.
The meetups ahead of BlockShow Europe 2018 proved to be an exciting experience both for the organizers and participants. The attendees had a chance to get insights from blockchain professionals and crypto enthusiasts, tap vast networking opportunities, and vote for promising blockchain startups. The winners of the public vote were invited to the final stage of the competition - BlockShow Oscar, which comes with a prize of 50,000 euro.
Over 3,000 blockchain experts and influencers are expected to attend BlockShow Europe 2018 in Berlin. More than 150 exhibitors will showcase their projects during the conference, and over 120 companies and media partners will provide global support to the event.
“Among conferences, BlockShow is like the Cirque du Soleil of the circus - we stand out from the competitors. We are not your typical conference: we remove standard, official stuff from it and focus on a casual atmosphere where community feels like home and where people can network and sign contracts. We disregard the word “official,” and like to replace it with “informal.” We are a show for blockchain business representatives to spend their time efficiently,” said Addy Creeze, CEO at BlockShow.
BlockShow is thrilled to have as a keynote speaker Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia and a “Web Celeb” as per Forbes Magazine. He is one of Time’s “100 Most Influential People”, a famous crypto enthusiast and technology visionary. His journey through the cryptoverse started back in 2014, when he tweeted he was “playing with BTC” and attached his wallet address.
Apart from Wikipedia, Jimmy Wales has founded WikiTribune, a revolutionary ad-free news platform for evidence-based journalism, and Wikia, a privately owned free web hosting service. He even proposed to pay the journalists in Bitcoins.
Wikipedia and the rest of The Wikimedia Foundation projects have accepted donations in Bitcoins since 2014.
