Why You Must Attend This Year’s Web3 Tales Conference

Alice in Blockchains, a nonprofit association for fintech, cryptocurrency, and blockchain, is once again bringing together global and regional experts and crypto enthusiasts at the Web3 Tales conference.

After last year’s success, the conference will take place again on October 1, 2024, in Zagreb, organized by the association’s 100% volunteer-led women’s team. This year’s edition is titled DeFi DeTangled, perfectly reflecting the spirit of the conference and unveiling its theme—demystifying decentralized finance (DeFi).

Web3 Tales Conference: A Meeting Point for the Future and Innovation

The DeFi sector, based on blockchain technology, enables the creation of financial systems that are more transparent, secure, and accessible than ever before. Through smart contracts, decentralized applications (dApps), and innovative protocols, DeFi opens new opportunities for investors, entrepreneurs, and everyday users. The Web3 Tales conference provides a platform to explore these opportunities and understand how DeFi will continue to shape the global economy.

Technology should serve people, not the other way around. This principle is at the core of blockchain, upon which a whole new world of decentralized finance (DeFi) is built.

Key Topics and Speakers

The conference will cover a variety of topics relevant to those who want to stay informed about the innovations reshaping the financial world. From basic DeFi concepts to advanced technologies like wallets, web3 payments, staking, and asset tokenization, participants will have the opportunity to expand their knowledge of this rapidly growing sector. The program is divided into two parts: theoretical lectures and panels, and practical workshops. Whether you’re looking to discover DeFi or apply it to your business and personal finance, there is something for everyone.

The speakers include some of the most prominent names in the DeFi world, such as founders of leading blockchain projects, investors, and tech experts shaping the future of finance. Their experiences and visions will provide invaluable insights into the direction DeFi is taking and how you can get involved in this exciting sector.

Notable participants include Circle (issuer of the USDC stablecoin) with keynote speaker Sanja Kon, Vice President for the European branch; Jacqueline Robinson from ConsenSys (the company behind MetaMask wallet and Infura products); Bruno Škvorc from Polygon; Vid Hribar from Raiffeisen Bank International and many others, Amber Ghaddar from 200BN Club, Emilie Raffo from Chainsecurity, Anita Erker from NAKA, Anton Golub from SwissAssets DAO and many more.

Networking and Collaboration Opportunities

One of the most important aspects of the Web3 Tales conference is the opportunity to network with other experts and enthusiasts. For many, these opportunities mark the beginning of new partnerships and projects that could significantly impact the future of the financial sector by connecting traditional finance with decentralized systems.

This year’s conference is supported by Base58, Neuralab, Studio Size, Embassy of Canada, LostHex, Go2Digital, UBIK, and Blockchain Alliance Europe, as well as new global and local companies such as Circle, BitGet, NAKA, Decenter, Thrilld Labs, A1 Hrvatska, Monri, ASEE, alongside the Polish Blockchain Association, Finticipate and SheFi, the largest global women-led Web3 association.

Women as Change-Makers in DeFi

In a world where traditional financial institutions are often resistant to innovation and diversity, decentralized finance provides a new framework where creativity, innovation, and diverse approaches can thrive. Women in DeFi often take on roles as engineers, entrepreneurs, investors, and educators, demonstrating how their contributions can enrich and advance the entire sector.

One of the key goals of the conference is to empower women in the DeFi sector and initiate dialogue on how to create a more inclusive ecosystem where women have equal access to resources, funding, and education. This year’s speakers include female leaders from the DeFi world whose roles are crucial in shaping the future of finance and technology.

Why You Should Attend

Attending the Web3 Tales conference is not only a chance to learn about the latest trends and technologies in DeFi but also an opportunity to become part of a global community shaping the future of finance. Whether you’re an experienced professional or just entering the world of decentralized finance, this conference offers opportunities, resources, and connections to help you thrive in this dynamic sector.

As part of its dedication to education, Alice in Blockchains will gift all attendees two books: “Web3 and Blockchain for Women” by Sanja Kon (Kindle version) and “Decrypting Money: A Comprehensive Introduction to Bitcoin” by Marco Krohn, Anthony Jefferies, Marco Streng, and Zoran Balkić (signed edition).
