Contributed article by Emily Woodham of TokenomX

Blockchain is something that we continue to hear about, along with other terms like “cryptocurrency” and, perhaps even more specifically, “Bitcoin.” This terminology is no longer reserved for those invested in financial and economic ways, but they are even spilling over into the worlds of those with a casual curiosity, or people who are looking at ways to improve their portfolios.

Whether you are a seasoned Blockchain expert, or you are just beginning to define its uses and definition, there comes a time when you always want to know more. The crypto world is always changing, so you need to keep up-to-date on trending developments and emerging processes and programs. Keeping an eye on a few websites online won’t always cut it. Plus, wouldn’t it be nice to have discussions with others who share the same yearning for knowledge and an updated Blockchain education?

If your answer is “yes,” then you should definitely consider attending at least one Blockchain event in 2019.

The reasons are numerous, including:

• Speakers – You can learn from a variety of experts in the field, ranging anywhere from successful CEOs of large corporations to up-and-coming startup founders. You’ll hear lectures on a number of important topics, and you can apply what you’ve learned to your own individual needs.

• Exhibitors – Most events will have a hall full of vendors. So, if you’ve been dying to see some new technology or a demo of a few products or applications that you’re interested in, this is the place!

• Additional Events – You can also expect smaller lectures, along with dinners and parties. These laid-back settings can be ideal for networking and personal interaction.

• Pricing – This will be a big part of your decision, but be sure to look at the packages. Often, you can save by signing up for a package that will include everything you want to experience.

Now you should feel a lot more educated on what exactly to look for when you are searching for a good Blockchain event. So, let’s look at what’s coming up for 2019 so you can easily plan out your conference calendar!

Blockchain Expo Global

Held in London, the Blockchain Expo Global is a massive event. While London is often seen as a leader in the financial world, especially in Europe, it’s easy to see how this super-large event draws in an impressive 12,000 attendees. Can you just imagine the networking opportunities? If this will be your first Blockchain conference and the sheer volume seems a little overwhelming to you, then you can always opt for a smaller, more manageable event. But how does that saying go about jumping in with both feet?

Speakers from 2018 included Thomas Power from 9 Spokes, Kapil Dhar from Lloyds Banking Group and Oliver Volk from Allianz.

This year’s conference will happen on April 25 and 26th, definitely making it one of the spring’s most comprehensive summits. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn from over 500 speakers and shop amongst 350 exhibitors. A few of this year’s well-known speakers include:
