The BSV Global Blockchain Convention opened its doors for the first time in the UAE and will remain there until May 26th, 2022, at the Grand Hyatt, Dubai.
Top blockchain, digital asset, and technology experts from around the world will participate in panels, speak, and moderate events during the inaugural three-day event in Dubai, according to the convention.
BSV is the only blockchain with the technical capabilities to serve as a global distributed data ledger for consumers, enterprises, and governments in a secure, scalable, and efficient manner. The BSV ecosystem is focused on creating real utility on blockchain, increasing efficiency and honesty in ways that contribute to a better world, and doing so while adhering to legal and regulatory requirements.
Jimmy Nguyen, Founding President BSV Blockchain Association said: “We are thrilled that the Global Blockchain Convention will be welcoming so many blockchain, technology, media and business leaders to the stage and are looking forward to dynamic and insightful discussions across the three days.”
Over the last two years, the BSV Blockchain has expanded its presence in the Middle East region while also developing relationships with government entities to advance regional and global blockchain education and adoption. This is the first time in the region that the BSV blockchain ecosystem’s flagship event has been held in this format.
“The BSV Global Blockchain Convention grew out of the CoinGeek Conference series that made its debut in Hong Kong in 2018, with six more events held in Europe, Asia and North America over the next few years. The Convention, like the Conference, is produced by Calvin Ayre, the Canadian-Antiguan technology entrepreneur.” said Patrick Prinz, CEO of BSV Blockchain Association.
He added, “The UAE is one of the most forward thinking places for blockchain technology – it is the place to be and the centre for a new world of doing business. Everyone here is open to the opportunity and recognize the need to go forward with blockchain and web3 – It is the future for the economy. Dubai was the obvious location for us to host our very first Global Blockchain Convention in a region which wants to be the first to go forward in the new technological world.”
The BSV Global Blockchain Convention is attracting over a hundred and twenty speakers from around the world, including high-profile thought leaders from the blockchain and digital asset industries, as well as representatives from many different industry sectors that use BSV. The event will provide attendees with firsthand knowledge of new blockchain innovations in the public sector, esports and online games, Metaverse, NFTs, Web3, fintech Islamic Finance, Internet of Things, smart cities, supply chain, entertainment & media, music, the arts, sports, cybersecurity, computation, blockchain mining, and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) compliance.
“The convention is like Woodstock, that’s how influential this technology is going to be and it’s going to change so many things. I hope the convention educates the big consulting companies so that they understand what this technology can do so they in fact become evangelists for us when they are brought in to solve technical problems”. said Calvin Ayre, Executive Producer of BSV Global Blockchain Convention and Founder of Ayre Ventures.
BSV is an enterprise-grade blockchain that can grow unbounded and can manage large amounts of data, all stored at a low cost, and high volumes of micropayments sent at very low cost (1/20 to 1/100 of a U.S. cent and expected to be lower in the future). Unlike legacy social platforms like Facebook and Instagram, BSV applications can re-invent the Internet by allowing users to store on-chain, control and monetize their own content and data. BSV is also the greenest proof of work blockchain on the planet as confirmed by CoinCarbonCap and Canadian audit firm MNP in their 2021 report on the subject.
