Throughout the week, attendees will have the opportunity to connect via several events such as conferences, workshops and meet-ups with professional investors and traders, and corporate, entrepreneurial and innovation leaders, as well as digital currency funds with senior executives and entrepreneurs from the blockchain and cryptocurrency sectors.
The conference “BUIDL Here” is open to the public and tickets are available on Eventbrite. Attendees include investors, government officials, students, web 3 companies and those interested in learning more about blockchain and crypto.
