What Is EBC?
The European Blockchain Convention is the top blockchain event in Europe. It brings together industry professionals, startups, and technology leaders. The event serves as a platform for sharing insights, fostering collaborations, and exploring the extensive potential of blockchain, crypto, and digital assets.
The EBC aims to boost the blockchain ecosystem in Europe. It has been organizing conferences since 2018 in Barcelona. EBC attracts large audiences, including founders, investors, regulators, developers, and corporations. Attendees gather annually to gain knowledge, find inspiration, and build connections. EBC has featured renowned speakers and top startups in the blockchain and crypto industry.
Who Will Be There?
European Blockchain Convention 9 will feature 300 founders, CEOs, and industry experts as speakers. Notable leaders from companies such as Nansen, Fidelity, Fabric Ventures, Animoca Brands, Banco Santander, Algorand, BBVA, Coinbase, Fireblocks, BNP Paribas, Volkswagen, Binance, and Galaxy Digital will be in attendance.
Registrations and exhibitor interest in the European Blockchain Convention have greatly increased. This positive feedback has prompted us to relocate EBC9 to Fira Barcelona, a larger venue. Fira Barcelona is the largest convention center in Spain, providing ample space for exhibitors and more engaging experiences.
The co-founder, Daniel Salmeron, expressed his excitement about combining TradFi, digital assets, and web3. Many traditional banks and financial institutions are participating, showing their commitment and optimism for the future of crypto and digital assets.
