Korea Blockchain Week 2024 will be held at the same time as “WebX”

KBW, which attracted 30,000 people, will be held again this year

It has been announced that Korea Blockchain Week (KBW), held by FACTBLOCK and HASED, will be held from September 1st to September 7th, 2024. The main event, IMPACT, will be held over two days, September 3rd and September 4th, at the Seoul Grand Walker Hill Hotel.

KBW and IMPACT are events founded and hosted by FACTBLOCK, a Web3 ecosystem builder, and co-hosted by HASHED, an investment company specializing in Blockchain, and will be held for the 7th time.

KBW attracted a total of 30,000 people last year, with 6,000 people attending the main event, IMPACT. KBW2024 will consist of a variety of events, including IMPACT, and will be held across Seoul for about a week.

KBW2023, which was held last year, was not only a great success for the main event, but due to the large number of participants from overseas, over 200 events were held every day, and the event ended with great success.

Conferences are concentrated in Asia from the end of August to the beginning of September.

DAO TOKYO and ETH TOKYO will be held in Tokyo from August 21st to August 26th. Additionally, WebX 2024, Japan's largest Web3 conference, planned and operated by CoinPost, will be held from August 28th to August 29th.

In 2024, when attention to the Asian market increases, Japan's largest WebX and South Korea's largest KBW will be held at the same time, and it is expected that even more participants will flock to Japan and South Korea from all over the world.

WebX representative Aoki stated as follows.
