Korea Blockchain Week — The unofficial guide
Your guide for Korea Blockchain Week.
Check back often, this list will be updated often.
July 16th — July 22nd 2018
Here comes Asia’s biggest blockchain gathering ever. If you were in New York for Consensus, you can probably expect much of the same, except with less rules and more humidity.
South Korea is Ground Zero for cryptocurrency and digital assets adoption.
Thank you for messaging me with questions surrounding Korea Blockchain Week. Here’s to help you navigate the home of the Kimchi Premium.
Cheerios!

Beyond Blocks Summit — Seoul
July 17th~18th
Most of Korea Blockchain Week will revolve around the Beyond Blocks Summit. We’re expecting close to 2000 attendees and probably even more people lingering around the hotel and lobby to pick off meetings.
Shilla hotel however is perched up on a hill and nothing is really walking distance. I expect transportation like local cabs/UBER Black to be very slow.
Update: rooms at Shilla are completely sold out. :(
Itaewon — Night life + International Friendly
Luckily, not too far away from Shilla hotel is Itaewon.
This is the night life center of Korea and where all the expats linger.
It’s safe to assume Blockchain folks will probably take over this region, at least during the main conferences.
Gangnam Style— Yellow Bubble marks meetings.
If you are doing business meetings, it’s very likely you’ll be spending a good amount of time in Gangnam. This is the business district equipped with a ton of late night bars.
The yellow bubble is center for where all the blockchain companies are based. It’s also Hashed HQ’s. :)
Headquartered in Gangnam:
Bithumb
Upbit
Huobi Korea
GBIC
Korbit
Hashed
Ground X
Foundation X
Upground
Chainpartners
MediBloc
Blockcrafters
Carry Protocol
Terra
Contents Protocol
… and probably everyone with the exception of Coinone and ICON. :)
