Cryptocurrency continues its march from niche market to major player on the global scene. The amount of venture capital investment in blockchain and cryptocurrency in the first quarter alone is up almost 90 percent from the previous year.
The crypto community, while growing, still feels small. There are many opportunities to establish relationships and connect with industry leaders and innovators. The new applications of blockchain become staples of discussion at major events around the world.
Not only are these events attempting to bring the new digital asset class to the forefront of mainstream investing circles, they attract the brightest and best minds in the industry.

1) BLOCK-CON 2017 – 10/10/17 – SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA

BLOCK-CON stresses the importance of hands-on experience and features practical training workshops on how to launch an ICO as well as a multi-day hackathon with the winners presenting on the main stage. Speakers include Vinny Lingham of Civic and Adam Draper of Boost VC. This is an ideal event for technical individuals looking to get their hands dirty with real use cases.

A conference for current or aspiring developers on the Ethereum platform, DevCon3 is the go-to for the Ethereum R&D community. While high interest had led to a sold out show, the events will be available via livestream. Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, headlines the show. Many are interested in the insights from the smart contracts discussion led by Loi Luu of Kyber Network.

4) CONSENSUS:INVEST11/28/17 – NEW YORK, NEW YORK

Digital assets have returned over 440% in 2017. Consensus:Invest is exactly as its name implies – a call to action to invest in cryptocurrency. With those numbers, one wouldn’t think there would be a need for a call to action. However, the financial press has covered hundreds of digital asset obituaries that feed negative perception in the long term viability of cryptos. The event will be focused on changing that perception for sophisticated investors who are inactive in the new asset class.
Speakers include leading crypto hedge fund managers Mike Novogratz (Galaxy Investment Partners) and Ari Paul (Blocktower Capital) as well as star analyst turned fund manager Chris Berniske (Placeholder Ventures).

5) BLOCKCHAIN WORLD CONFERENCE12/1/17 – BANGKOK, THAILAND
