We are thrilled to unveil the highly anticipated Blockchain Africa Conference 2024, set to take place on October 31st in the vibrant city of Johannesburg. As we mark the monumental milestone of our 10th edition, we reflect on a decade of groundbreaking advancements, transformative ideas, and global collaboration within the blockchain ecosystem.
Since its inception in 2015, when the inaugural conference graced the shores of Cape Town (then named the Bitcoin Africa Conference), the Blockchain Africa Conference has emerged as a cornerstone event, propelling the continent’s journey towards digital transformation. Year after year, we’ve brought together visionaries, thought leaders, and industry pioneers to explore the limitless potential of blockchain technology.
Our past events have featured an illustrious lineup of speakers, including luminaries such as Charles Hoskinson (Founder of Cardano), Andreas M. Antonopoulos (Author, Bitcoin Advocate, and Educator), Vinny Lingham (Entrepreneur, Co-founder & CEO of Civic), Brock Pierce (Entrepreneur, Investor, Ex-Chairman of the US Bitcoin Foundation), Brian Behlendorf (Executive Director of Hyperledger Project), Ben Zhou (Co-founder & CEO of Bybit), Sandra Ro (CEO of the Global Blockchain Business Council (GBBC)), Stani Kulechov (Founder & CEO of Aave), Rene Reinsberg (Co-founder & CEO of Celo), Briana Marbury (CEO at Interledger Foundation), and Tone Vays (Bitcoin Analyst, Content Creator, and Consultant). Their insights, expertise, and passion have inspired countless attendees and catalyzed innovation across diverse sectors.
Throughout its history, the Blockchain Africa Conference has welcomed over 9,500 attendees from more than 160 countries, both in-person in South Africa and virtually. This global participation underscores the conference’s significance as a platform for diverse voices and perspectives in the blockchain space since its inception. The conference themes have progressed with each iteration, transitioning from “Beyond the Hype” to “From Hype to Mainstream,” then to “Ready for Business?” and finally, “Ready for Business.” These shifts mirror the dynamic evolution of blockchain technology—from its early stages of hype and speculation to its integration into everyday business practices. They underscore the importance of careful deliberation, collaboration, and innovation in unlocking the complete capabilities of blockchain across various industries and geographical areas.
