This edition will be held at the Cyberport in Hong Kong, a government-backed venue home to leading web3 companies like Animoca Brands.

BlockShow founder Addy Crezee emphasizes the strategic role of Asia in the web3 industry, with Hong Kong serving as a key location for global connectivity in the space. “Our events have a huge impact. They are also different in terms of experience because we are more focused on community and fun experiences. So, I see a gap and lack of such events like the ones we do. That’s why we are back,” Crezee stated.
“I am eagerly anticipating the chance to create a gateway for global players, enabling them to ride the wave in Asia. Hong Kong is the perfect spot for this. Exciting times lie ahead!”
