Gear up for the second edition of Web3Conf in Goa
The GirlScript Foundation, a non-profit organization, is set to make waves once again with the much-awaited second edition of Web3Conf India on the sunny shores of Goa. Following the resounding success of its first edition, with immense enthusiasm the organizers are gearing up to host the groundbreaking conference inviting thousands of Web3 innovators to explore the future of decentralization, blockchain, DeFi, NFTs, gaming and beyond.
Anubha Maheswar, Founder of GirlScript Foundation & Web3Conf India says,
“India is a large market, and in the early IT revolution, Indian service-based companies had a prime role. Similarly, in the decentralized revolution, India can play a pivotal role in onboarding the next wave of 100M users.”
“Our motto behind launching Web3Conf India is to give a platform to the Indian talent, Web3 founders, and builders whose international travel for global conferences isn’t feasible due to lack of awareness, VISA, and monetary constraints. We are super excited to organize the second edition of Web3Conf India and would like to express our gratitude to all those who supported us over these years.”
Last year, the chain-agnostic Web3 Conference was organized at the same time. Web3Conf India 2022 witnessed active participation from over 1500+ attendees, 70+ speakers, and 100+ Web3 hackathon teams. This year the organizers are ready to welcome over 3000+ attendees, 100+ speakers, and 150+ hackathon teams at Novotel Dona Sylvia Resort in Cavelossim, Goa.
According to a study by the National Association of Software and Services Companies (NASSCOM), our country possesses 11% of Web3 talent globally. The number makes India rank third in terms of Web3 workforce. With an ever-growing interest in Web3 technologies, Web3Conf is poised to be a collaborative, learning & inspiring platform for thousands of tech enthusiasts, founders, and innovators from around the globe.
Web3Conf India will kick off on 11th August 2023 with a city tour for the early arrivals at the venue. The 3-day conference will feature an exceptional lineup of keynote speakers, power-packed knowledge sessions, sponsor booths, a pitch contest for budding entrepreneurs, networking events, and thought-provoking panel discussions. Web3 innovators like Mr. Raj Kapoor, Francesco Ciulla, and Ajeet Khurana will be speaking at the conference in Goa.
“I attended Web3Conf India 2022, and it was a remarkable experience! The energy and enthusiasm were contagious. This year, I’m even more excited for the 2023 edition. The insightful sessions and connections I made last year have stayed with me, and I can’t wait to see what new innovations and ideas will be showcased this time. Web3Conf is a must-attend event for anyone passionate about the Web3 ecosystem.”
- said Preetam Rao, CEO & Co-Founder QuillAudits.
As the countdown to Web3Conf India continues, GirlScript Foundation together with notable sponsors like XDC, Google Cloud, Davos, Wallet Connect, DYDX, and other organizations, is eagerly awaiting a convergence of innovations that will shape decentralized networks, blockchain protocols, and Web3 technologies.
