Crypto Conference Overload: Are There Too Many Events?
Crypto conferences are a staple in the industry, but with the announcement of Bitget’s EmpowerX Summit, some are wondering if there are simply too many events. Taking place in Singapore on September 12, the summit aims to empower individuals and society through crypto and Web3. However, Singapore is already set to host numerous other crypto events, raising the question of conference saturation.
Key Points:
- Bitget has announced its EmpowerX Summit, adding to the growing list of crypto conferences in Singapore.
- Global cities like London, Paris, Miami, and New York also have a multitude of crypto events each year.
- The bear market of 2022 has made it challenging for events to attract attendees.
- Bitcoin2023, reportedly the largest Bitcoin event, saw a significant decrease in attendees.
- Despite the struggles, some conference organizers remain optimistic about the industry’s future.
According to Juri Maibaum, co-founder of Cosmoverse, the bear market has affected conferences, with sponsors and attendees prioritizing select events over attending multiple ones. However, Maibaum believes that offering affordable ticket prices can help counteract this trend.
On the other hand, John Paller, founder of ETHDenver, is more confident, stating that engagement has been better than ever despite the decrease in numbers. He believes that events can re-energize individuals during bear markets and expects a stronger showing at future conferences.
Hot Take:
While the number of crypto conferences may seem overwhelming, the industry’s resilience and the importance of networking and engagement during bear markets may keep the events space thriving. Conference organizers will need to adapt by offering affordable ticket prices and delivering high-quality experiences to attract attendees.
