Blockchain Africa Conference 2022 (B) | Blockchain Africa Conference | 16 March 2022 | Virtual Event

Since 2015, Bitcoin Events’ annual Blockchain Africa Conferences have been the first of their kind in Africa and have brought together some of the top thought leaders from across the globe.
Over 150 countries, 10,000 delegates and 350 speakers have attended our previous seven Blockchain Africa conferences, from both the public and private sector.
Collective sentiment about blockchain technology is on the rise, along with meaningful implementations in the public and private sectors. Not only are we seeing the entrance of tech and payments giants such as PayPal, Square and Facebook, including institutional investment going into cryptocurrencies, but also the implementation of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) by central banks such as in China.
As the technology matures, we see a move away from blockchain experiments towards the development of robust enterprise ready solutions. Adopters and application leaders are using blockchain to uniquely transform their digital businesses, especially with supply-chain-related and payments-related use cases.
