For them (and you, buddy!) we have prepared a list of 8 terrific blockchain events from August until the end of the year in chronological order to help you follow the latest trends and news in the industry.

After the tremendous success of the last year event, Bloconomic Economic Summit, which managed to gather over 3000 participants, 250 investors and venture capitals, 70 speakers globally, 10 academy and universities, and 30 regulators from SEA, the second edition, Bloconomic Expo 2019, is believed to be even greater celebration of the blockchain’s growing value.

The key discussions will be covering topics about STOs, ICOs, industry’s regulatory frame, AI, and more.

What’s even more thrilling is that Bloconomic Expo 2019 is organizing the first blockchain awards in Malaysia ever. The voting was launched on 25th April this year and will continue until 15th July 2019. However, we should be patient as the winners will be announced during the Award ceremony, part of Bloconomic Expo 2019.
