Bitcoin Events 10th edition of the Blockchain Africa Conference takes place on November 20th in Pretoria (Tshwane), South Africa.

Since its inception in 2015, when the inaugural conference graced the shores of Cape Town (then named the Bitcoin Africa Conference), the Blockchain Africa Conference has emerged as a cornerstone event, propelling the continent’s journey towards digital transformation. Year after year, the event has brought together visionaries, thought leaders, and industry pioneers to explore the limitless potential of blockchain technology and digital assets in Africa.

The conference themes have progressed with each iteration, transitioning from “Beyond the Hype” to “From Hype to Mainstream,” then to “Ready for Business?” and finally, “Ready for Business.” These shifts mirror the dynamic evolution of blockchain technology—from its early stages of hype and speculation to its integration into everyday business practices.

Key streams of the event are:

Blockchain-based use-cases across both financial and non-financial industries
Cryptocurrency/digital asset regulation
Blockchain technology hurdles and challenges
In addition to thought-provoking discussions, the conference will feature workshops, exhibitions, cocktail events, and networking opportunities. VIP lounges will provide a space for exclusive interactions and relaxation between sessions.

As an extension of the conference, a networking event will be held in Cape Town on 22 November 2024, offering attendees the chance to connect with the vibrant Cape Town Web3 community.

The Blockchain Africa Conference presents a distinctive chance to gain insights, forge connections, and draw inspiration from industry pioneers and forward-thinkers, providing valuable insights into the African landscape.
