15toGO's team will attend the biggest blockchain conference in NYC — Consensus
15toGO will have its representation in one of the biggest blockchain conferences Consensus in New York.
The CEO of the company Peter Lozanov and one of our early investors and supporters Simeon Naydenov are heading to the Big Apple to meet people from the industry and grow its network. They will attend the blockchain week and be in New York between 10th and 18th of May. The event will take place from the 14th to the 16th of May 2018 in New York. You can contact 15toGO’ team here and schedule a meeting during our stay in NYC.
The host is a big digital media which is well known in the cryptocurrency world — CoinDesk. This is the fourth consecutive year in which it is taking place. Every year the growth that this event sees is impressive.
It started in 2015 with only 400 people attending and now it will have more than 4000 attendees.
This year there will be more than 250 speakers. Last year they were around 200, mainly (90%+) from the startup community with an emphasis on blockchain.
Big names will be part of the event as speakers or just attendees. Some of the key figures this year will be Charlie Lee — creator of Litecoin, Ned Scott — CEO of Steemit, Jesse Powel — CEO of Kraken, also executives and representatives of many well-known projects.
The leading forces in the industry will be there. The event presents an incredible opportunity to get exposure and gives an opportunity to meet people from the industry, visit networking events during the conference, exchange ideas and make new contacts.
The worldwide exposure that the summit presents is also immense. Excluding all of the people attending, there were also more than 80 media partners and more than 80 sponsors last year.
Comparing the number of attendees last year and this one, imagine what will be the increase in the percentage of the presence of media partners.
Consensus represents a big event for the cryptocurrency world. Everyone is anticipating a rise in the overall market capitalization. Last year the market cap rose from 36 to 90 billion dollars from the 1st of May until the 24th which was the last day of the event.
This year the capitalization of the market crashed from 830 billion on the 7th of January, which was the highest this market has ever seen to 244 billion on the 1st of April which is the lowest since the all-time high. The market was in a major downturn but recently there was a sigh of relief as the capitalization is rising, hitting 440 billion on the 29th of April and people hope it will continue to do so in anticipation of Consensus.
