Blockchain Island: Malta Blockchain Summit in November

Overview of the Malta Blockchain Summit

Malta is about to host its second grand crypto industry event in as many months, with the Malta Blockchain Summit to follow the Delta Summit taking place on October 3-5. The new forum is scheduled for November 1-2 and is expected to welcome over 4,000 delegates, 1,000 investors, 100 speakers, and 300 sponsors.

The Malta Blockchain Summit will take place at the InterContinental and is poised to become another grand industry event riding the Maltese crypto wave and boosting it at the same time. It will feature many exclusive events, including four major conferences, a hackathon, an extensive expo floor, an ICO Pitch area, and a Blockchain Awards ceremony.

Malta has earned the name of “Blockchain Island” for its massive contribution to blockchain regulation and legislation, emerging as the first country in the world to offer clear guidelines and rules for industry players.

This open-minded attitude has prompted two of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges - Binance and OKEx - to relocate to Malta, cementing the country's status as a global blockchain and cryptocurrency hub. Moreover, each exchange has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Malta Stock Exchange for the launch of a security trading platform. These moves underscore Malta's success in promoting technology innovations and leading the development of the blockchain industry.

Insight from the CEO

Eman Pulis, CEO of the Malta Blockchain Summit, commented:

"I wish to welcome every blockchain enthusiast to the Malta Blockchain Summit, a melting pot for global influencers in technology, civil society, democracy promotion, and innovation. Expect interesting discussion about the world-changing potential applications of blockchain across multiple verticals, including, but not limited to entertainment, government, banking, payments and fintech, and more."

Event Programs and Networking

The conferences will serve as a platform for discussing regulation, investment, marketing, and affiliation issues in the context of blockchain business. The participants will also address tokenomics and blockchain for developers. Since many developers will be invited to attend free of charge, startups and crypto projects will have a massive target audience to pitch their ideas.

What is more, the Malta Blockchain Summit will offer unique networking and business opportunities for global influencers and industry professionals. The attendees will be able to establish new connections and discuss the potential practical applications of blockchain technology across various industries, from health and entertainment to government and banking.
