Topic: Too many Blockchain conferences! (Read 262 times)
Some ICO wannabes are using those blockchain conferences just to say that they are somehow interesting and to be called promising where in fact, they are just a guess and dont even introduce their project. Those conferences are just for pictures to be added on their website. Well, fhere are still some advantages of attending blockchain conferences like how to develop their project better and to get more investors.
There is nothing new about people making presenations in front of investors. Companies doing IPO's or other offerings have been doing it for years. When I worked as a Stockbroker you could go to one every day and still miss some. The difference is that the old way was to invite the brokers who would then recommend the investment to retail investors. With Cryptocurrency there are no brokers so they need to make the appeal directly to investors.
Conferences aren't meant to be like what you are thinking.
This makes the adoption and increases the popularity of crypto's.
Educating the people about what crypto is beneficial of and what will people get through it.

I think the conference got the bright side, I agree that most of the conferences only want to advertise and lure investors in their project but not all of them are focus on the project some of them really gives the knowledge of blockchain and how it may be used for the future, I think we can get a lot of knowledge of lesson by joining multiple conference and not all the project in the conferences are bad
I think it's okay to see the best projects be showcased. Maybe they can earn attention and support with that.
I thought am the only one seeing it like this. The funny thing about most of these conferences is that they are not really adding any tangible value to the industry, they are just using them to get money from ICO founders through their sales pitch.
It seems that organizing conferences are the newest route to earn money. With the mood bearish, and ETH trading low, ICOs are finding it difficult to get participants to part with their ETH for a new Token. Not to say that these conferences are of no use. There are quite a few that really are educative. Many however are only trying to lure the Founders with promises of introduction to Investors.
In terms of marketing, conferences is a great help in order to scatter the world and to the other ICO projects about your projects, and from then on, you can find partnerships with other ICO projects as well, it is part of the marketing arms of the so called blockchain business.

yes, but what is even worse is that the theme discussed at the conference is always the same thing, only the difference is probably the person who delivered it and how they delivered it. they always give advice about the benefits of using blockchain, crypto and also promoting the ICO and the projects they are running or following
It is always that way with any type of business with investors, this practice is also widely used in startups for networking, in the end, the main utility is to know the right people who are willing to invest in your project, there's nothing wrong with that, of course, if the ICO is good willing a legitimate.
It seems to me that events of this kind, on the contrary, have become much smaller compared to last year. After all, interest in cryptocurrency has fallen sharply after the bitcoin price has fallen.
OP was thinking if these icos are creating conference for money purpose. So many icos have been doin their own conferences to attract more investors to join in their crowdsale dude.
When the conference will be doing by an ico after the crowdsale and it's to attract the buyers. But only a few conferences that created by competence blockchain team.

ICOs creating conferences or attending conferences? What I have seen is ICOs teams going to conferences organized to talk about the blockchain in general, which are quite interesting when it comes to making cryptocurrencies known to a wider audience.
You are right in your post, I could add that the conferences are also useful to show projects with the idea of recognition and expansion.
In these conferences, the organizers also perform carry out competitions among the projects to measure the level of preference and audience, which is positive for the development of the participating projects.
We must be aware that these projects that achieve with the hard work of their developers offer us their products to solve existing problems and are created for the growth of the crypto-enthusiastic community and support blockchain advances.
As well as the participation of projects that take advantage of the Blockchain boom and in the end show us that they were not so successful and it is the negative experience that we have seen in some them.

As long as they're getting participants, who cares? They're trying to spread the word about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, so why not encourage them to do so? However, if they're just obvious money grabs with no additional value, these should not be encouraged.

I don't understand what the conclusion about too many blockchain conferences is based on. Probably just for subjective reasons. Such events do not take place in one place, they are divided into different countries, I do not think that they are very much. Of course, many projects want to cheat, but honest projects also need to somehow collect funding.

Yes conferences are money collection deal, pretty much like the ICOs, so people just doing them.
These conferences interest nobody. There representatives of campaigns which raise money from hamsters for the development gather.
I think we need more and more conferences too keep people interest on blockchain technologies. After a learning time many of the todays project can be realized. People needs blockchain, blockchain needs more people.
Why are you complaining about that? Recognition of blockchain technology will help growing cryptocurrency, because market needs fresh money to invest.
I don't see any wrong in blockchain conferences beside it is up to you to attend or not. Yes, it may sounds like that they are fishing new investors to invest in their ICO, as for me its the best way to reach out to people to learn about crypto and put a good impression to the potential investors that crypto is not a scam and a lot of educated and descent people are involved in crypto.
The conference is a good opportunity to have a live look at the project team and ask questions, as well as conduct a productive conversation. I think this is a very necessary event. I always keep track of major conferences and what teams were there and what product they represented.
Blockchain conferences are held in order to make money on it and shill their crypto projects to each other. All useful information about crypto can be found much faster on the Internet.
It is nice to see that people are educated. Conferences are the best way where you can get valuable information about project/blockchain or another crypto things.
I am not against about them at all. They are developing this technology and their influencing doesn't have negative effect. I don't see problems.
and LinkedIn is their place of promotion.
I use LinkedIn where I receive a message every day of invitation on some blockchain conferences. most of them are unknown and doing the conferences at the first time. I use to ignore them.
I know only few blockchain conferences like d10. and I really like them.

There are so many types of conferences but Blockchain is not that case that could be recovered os something like that. It is very suitable for everything and it is unique.
It is true. I think every 2-3 days there is a blockchain conference anywhere in the world. It happens, because there are a lot of great coins, that need to make their announcements. Thats why, I think, there are a lot of blockchain conferences in the world.
I agree with you at this time there are too many conferences that only try to attract investors or people who are new to crypto to invest on sponsor/member of the project conference, But isn't that the selling point? Haha, we can only see it. On the other hand of course there is a positive impact, blockchain is increasingly known by many people. So there is always a negative and positive side, Just my opinion 
Sorry for my bad english

I think even if it is, its good. We get to know who are worthy of investments and which ones don't look good in future.
All this is done for a reason, because today the cryptocurrency market is trying to attract more and more people, but you and I still see that most people are very careful in their choice, so we just wait
Exactly. Picking the right one is tough but it's worth it. Some are cash grab just like cash grab ICO's. However if you choose the right conferences you will benefit a lot from them. You will learn new stuff about blockchain and the most important part is that you will grow your network of crypto related associates and friends which may lead to new opportunities.
Unfortunately, they seem to be just a lure to push the ICO founders to pay and pitch. Not to say that ALL of them are unreliable. I would rather look at Tech discussions to be at the forefront to help adoption.
It could not be too many of them because their appearences mean that the technology is growing and it is alive, it has a future, do not panic about it.
It could not be too many because not all of them are reliable and preferable, profitable ones. Those that are not worthy will die and strongest will survive. So do not panic
