From Panels to Parties: What to Expect at EBC10 in Barcelona

Barcelona is once again set to become the epicenter of the blockchain world as it hosts the 10th edition of the European Blockchain Convention (EBC), taking place this year on September 25-26, 2024. This milestone event promises not just a conference but an epic celebration of the blockchain industry’s achievements–and a look into its future.

EBC10: More than a conference

This year’s landmark event is set to be the most influential yet, with an impressive lineup of speakers and a wider array of topics than ever. But while definitely one of its major highlights, EBC10 isn’t just about talks and panels. Here’s what attendees can look forward to:

1. Diverse topics: From digital assets and DeFi to NFTs, AI, and regulations, the event covers the entire blockchain spectrum. Expect deep dives into tokenization, institutional crypto, gaming, privacy, and security.
2. Beyond the conference walls: EBC10 has stepped it up to provide unique experiences outside the venue, including a sunset beach party, beach running, and a wine-tasting event. The convention also falls at the same time as the America’s Cup sailing event, which is worth checking out if you’re in Barcelona in the days surrounding the conference. 
3. Networking, networking, networking: With over 100 sessions across three stages, a massive exhibition area, a hackathon, 1:1 meetings, and a brilliant app, EBC10 offers much more than tentative chats around the coffee stand. Whether you’re a startup seeking investment or an industry head looking for collaborations, you’ll find who you want to meet and make some great new connections to boot.
4. Refreshing diversity: Co-founder Victoria Gago emphasizes the diversity of voices represented this year. “From Web3 innovators to traditional bank representatives, our mission has always been to create a platform that bridges gaps and fosters meaningful dialogue. The industry moves forward when we engage in hard conversations and challenge our own beliefs.”

Barcinno’s top pick: Startup battle
