Barcelona to host European Blockchain Convention in October

Barcelona, Spain: Barcelona is poised to host Europe’s largest blockchain event from Oct. 24 to 27. 

The European Blockchain Convention 9 (EBC9) will be held in Barcelona. Around 5,000 delegates, including industry experts, are expected to attend.

The conference also coincides with the El Clásico clash between Barcelona and Real Madrid.

300 founders, CEOs, and industry experts will be in attendance to speak at European Blockchain Convention 9, including C-level execs from Nansen, Fidelity, Fabric Ventures, and Animoca Brands. 

In addition to senior figures from leading blockchain companies, there will be speakers from traditional companies, including Banco Santander and Volkswagen. Senior personnel from Binance Labs and Galaxy Digital will also be in attendance.

Victoria Gago, co-founder of the 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 center 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 many traditional banks and financial institutions demonstrates their commitment and optimism about the future of crypto and digital assets.”

The ninth edition of the European Blockchain Convention will incorporate a diverse agenda that addresses regulatory challenges, central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), privacy, the institutionalization of crypto, decentralized finance (defi), sustainability, tokenization, and the ascent of artificial intelligence (AI).

In addition to panel discussions and workshops hosted across three stages, the program includes a 3,000 sqm exhibition area for sponsors and exhibitors. 

There will also be ask-me-anything (AMA) sessions with speakers, a 1-to-1 meeting area, and five themed networking lounges. 

Other events scheduled for EBC9 include an investor meetup, an art gallery, and the second edition of the EBC Start-up Awards.

A Hackathon will be at the top of the side event list, where over 200 hackers, 30 mentors, and 20 teams will participate in a 48-hour hackathon.
