Consensus 2024: A Global Gathering Of Blockchain And Cryptocurrency Enthusiasts

According to PANews, from May 29 to 31, 2024, the renowned Web3 media Coindesk hosted the Consensus 2024 conference in Austin, Texas. The event, one of the largest and most influential in the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry, attracted developers, investors, founders, brands, and policymakers from around the world. The conference provided a platform to showcase cutting-edge technology and discuss industry trends, as well as an excellent opportunity for industry insiders to network and collaborate. The Consensus conference was the first major industry event since the start of the bull market. Despite a decrease in the number of attendees compared to previous years, the overall quality of the conference improved significantly. The discussions were more professional and in-depth, and the networking was more efficient. The majority of this year's attendees were deeply involved in the industry, making Consensus a must-attend event for companies looking to raise funds or find clients or investment targets in the United States. Although the main venue was not crowded, most of the discussions and exchanges took place at various side events. Attendees preferred these smaller, more flexible events, which were closer to practical applications and cutting-edge technology and offered more opportunities for discussion and collaboration. Over the four days of the Consensus event, there were approximately 200+ such events, hosted by various Web3 companies. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Decentralized Internet of Things (DePIN) were the most focused ecosystems at the conference. Both technical discussions and project presentations were concentrated in these two areas. The number of Asian attendees was significant, with many flying in specifically for the conference. These attendees were mostly founders of startups or investors from funds, seeking financing opportunities, targets, or the latest Western capital trends in the United States. In summary, Consensus 2024 showcased the depth and breadth of the industry and provided direction for the future development of blockchain and cryptocurrency through international exchanges. The conference was not only an industry event but also a collision and fusion of global top-notch thoughts and technologies, heralding a more open, innovative, and decentralized future.
