The event will prime the international stage for a global exchange of the latest blockchain knowledge and expertise among high-profile figures in the space.”
Over 70 speakers including industry leaders, high-level executives, academics, and heads of state, are slated to appear at the Binance Conference. Eric van Miltenburg, Senior Vice President of Global Operations at Ripple, Justin Sun, Founder of TRON, Da Hongfei, Founder of NEO, Patrick Dai, Founder of Qtum, and of course Changpeng Zhao (CZ), Founder and CEO of Binance are among those taking to the stage.
