What are China's blockchain industry conferences doing?

Shanghai international blockchain week just ended. Share the industry conferences I have participated in, specifically what activities are there, and what everyone does it for.

The main highlight of the industry conference is the keynote speech and thematic round table discussion. This is clear to everyone. For a conference, I am embarrassed to collect tickets without inviting a few big V to come to the platform. The bigger the PPT screen in the conference, the more awesome the conference will be.

There are many different attitudes towards speeches and roundtable discussions. Generally speaking, I think it is the most basic supply of the conference. The value of attending the conference is relatively low in terms of speeches and round-table discussions. The information density and quality are far inferior to watching news reports directly.

An accessory to a speech is an advertisement. Between speeches, there are usually advertisements on the big screen. This may be the main source of income for the conference.

The second important task of the industry conference is to invite some companies in the industry to set up booths, commonly known as booths. The exhibiting company will set up a table with some brochures and roll-up banners. Two employees will communicate with visitors. If you talk a few words, they will usually give you a small gift or something.

I have a lot of t-shirts from various companies. Basically, I don’t need to buy clothes in the summer. These are all I can chat with at industry conferences. I hope that the participating companies will give away some pants or something, so that I can save some money and buy more coins.

The third important thing of the industry conference is that many companies or project parties will take the opportunity to organize some small conferences, because the conference has called people from the industry, and some project parties simply pull their customers together to cultivate feelings. . These are often cocktail parties, small road shows and project introduction activities.

These surrounding small meetings are generally separated from the organizer of the organizer, and the venue of the event is usually in the coffee shop next to the organizer’s meeting place, hotel conference room and the like.

As long as there is an industry conference a few days before the start, my WeChat will receive invitations from some companies, asking me to attend their receptions.

The fourth major event of the industry conference is that someone will organize some fairly high-end private seminars. This is similar to the surrounding small meeting above, but the reasons and goals are completely different. The surrounding small clubs tend to be biased towards advertising and marketing, and private seminars are often aimed at some industry issues, and several mutually recognized experts are invited to have a brainstorm.

Every time I attend an industry conference, what I look forward to most is this type of discussion. Before attending the conference, I myself would ask my friends if there are similar activities in advance, and even make an appointment for my friends to discuss specific issues.

The fifth major event of the industry conference is the social interaction of participants. The two of them pulled to the corner of the meeting to communicate, exchange business cards, add WeChat or something. There are often opportunities for cooperation.

Do you think there are any details of the conference? Welcome to share.
