Over the past decade, cryptocurrency has gained significant traction globally and Asia has been no exception. Consequently, the Asian market has emerged as a major participant in the digital asset landscape, with nations like China, South Korea, and Japan taking the lead. As more countries in the region accept blockchain technology and digital currencies, the number of crypto events and conferences has increased significantly.
These events have been instrumental in promoting collaboration, innovation, and knowledge sharing among industry experts, investors, and crypto fans. As we move through 2023, Asia continues to be a popular destination for revolutionary conversations on the future of Web3, blockchain, and cryptocurrencies.
TOKEN2049, the premier crypto event in Asia, is organized annually in Singapore. This event of Asia Crypto Week brings together the founders and executives of renowned Web3 companies and projects, providing a platform for them to share their views on the industry. By concentrating on global progress and widening perspectives on the ecosystem, TOKEN2049 offers unparalleled networking opportunities for entrepreneurs, investors, developers, and the media.
The event will take place on September 13-14, 2023 and will offer an exciting schedule of learning and collaboration opportunities in the rapidly changing crypto sphere. Additionally, the week of TOKEN2049 will feature independently organized side events, including networking drinks, meetups, workshops, hackathons, parties, and Formula 1 Racing.
Korea Blockchain Week is another major conference for the crypto industry, held in Seoul every year. Founded by FACTBLOCK and co-hosted by Hashed, the event brings together the most influential people in the sector to talk about, redefine, and celebrate the future of finance. It includes keynote speeches by industry leaders, panel discussions by renowned authorities, and networking opportunities for investors and crypto aficionados.
FACTBLOCK and Hashed also organize IMPACT, a two-day conference during Korea Blockchain Week. This must-attend event brings the industry’s leading players and pioneers to discuss topics like DeFi, artificial intelligence, blockchain technology, cryptocurrency, and Web3.
WebX, Asia’s largest web3 conference, is hosted by CoinPost, Japan’s largest crypto/web3 media. The event is held at the Tokyo International Forum and attracts critical players, startups, companies, investors, government officials, and media from Japan and abroad. The two-day global event focuses on integrating decentralized technologies, such as blockchain, into society and aims to make Japan a Web3 hub in Asia.
WebX features side events like Japan Web3 Night at Tokyo Bay, a VVIP Party, VC Night, and the Asia Web3 Hackathon. This is a great opportunity for participants from Web3, Web2, and other industries to discuss the future of blockchain technology and create a first-class conference that encourages global business collaboration.
IVS Crypto 2023 KYOTO is a premier event for Web3 entrepreneurs, investors, developers, IP holders, and fans, which will take place on June 28-30 in Kyoto, Japan. Building on the success of IVS, Japan’s largest startup conference since 2007, this year’s edition will feature interactive sessions, workshops, and various sub-events such as YGG Japan’s GameFi pitch contest and Demo Day of AI x Web3 Hackathon.
Moreover, top Web3 players from around the globe will be featured as speakers, and attendees can look forward to experiencing HONEYCON, an NFT theme park concept introduced last October.
