Our Journey

First CryptoConf event in 2020

From Humble Beginnings

CryptoConf was born in 2020 when our four co-founders—all blockchain enthusiasts and tech entrepreneurs—organized a small 50-person gathering in a San Francisco co-working space. What started as an informal meetup for passionate crypto advocates quickly gained attention for its high-quality content and genuine networking opportunities.

By 2022, we had expanded to organizing events across North America, hosting over 5,000 attendees at our flagship conference. The year 2024 marked our international expansion, with successful events in London, Singapore, and Dubai attracting industry leaders from around the globe.

Leading the Industry

Today, CryptoConf stands as the premier organizer of blockchain conferences, known for curating cutting-edge content and facilitating meaningful connections. Our team has grown from the original four founders to a diverse group of 35 professionals spanning event management, content curation, marketing, and blockchain research.

We've helped launch over 200 blockchain projects, facilitated more than $2 billion in industry investments, and connected thousands of developers, founders, and investors. Our conferences have become the go-to venues for major industry announcements and partnership formations.
