Top 5 blockchain conferences in 2020

Every year, hundreds, if not thousands, of blockchain events take place around the world, promising visitors the opportunity tochat with leading experts in this field and get acquainted with the latest technologies. But only a few of them really pay for the time and money spent on their visit.

Holding blockchain conferences at the timeIt turned out to be almost more profitable than trading, especially considering the significantly lower risks. Only on tickets for the Consensus 2018 blockchain conference, the organizer CoinDesk earned about $ 8 million.

The main complaint against the organizers of the blockchain events turned out to be insufficiently careful selection of speakers, among which were often employees of dubious cryptocurrency companies or newcomers with little knowledge of technology.
