Blockshow SingaporeBlockshow Asia
Next week, the one that is claimed to be the biggest blockchain conference in the world will return to Singapore for the second time. BlockShow Asia 2018 will bring together around 3,000 blockchain fans from over 50 countries. In addition, this two-day conference is simply the highlight of a whole week of blockchain-centric events, which the organizers have dubbed "Asia Blockchain Week". This should provide some relief in the context of a crash in cryptocurrency market prices and a general feeling of anxiety throughout the industry.
I spoke with Addy Crezee, the founder of the event, who shared thoughts on what to expect at BlockShow Asia and the industry in general.

What is the main problem with large blockchain conferences? (For example, some people were disappointed by Singapore Consensus, saying it was dry and less effective.)
"The problem is that there are too many conferences around without special attention except" gathering people "so that the sponsors see the crowd, not focusing on the value, but the huge amount of blockchain clamor still attracts people to events ".
How are you working to improve the format of blockchain conferences? What was done for Blockshow in Singapore?
"We are focusing on the problems that projects now have: financing (real investors), development and regulation, the third in particular is crucial for the market: initial coin offerings (ICOs) are no longer the way to go, the market is not regulated and stagnation is the result.We want to help people find funding from smart investors to develop their projects in the right way.At this time if you ask for an acceleration or incubation to encrypt funds on how the projects they are managed after the financing, you will not hear a suitable answer.To many projects are not developing in the way it was promised ".
Is the conference business profitable even though with the huge amount of negativity surrounding the space?
"2017 was the year of profits in the crypto.In 2018, you have to develop the right strategy and be very diligent in spending.When you do it well, it is profitable."

This is your third event this year. How did the year go in general?
"When you do three big events in three different parts of the world (Europe, America and Asia) in a year, you get huge marketing, which helped us to talk and discuss BlockShow, it's a real brand now and one of the conferences the most recognized blockchain in the world This is not an exaggeration, just one fact I'm not going to advertise the number of participants or the funds raised by BlockShow startups The main result is the relationships between people It's nice to meet people later the event and realize the people they are working with now, they met at BlockShow ".
What kind of trends do you see in the sector and what is the future of blockchain conferences in 2019? What are the prospects for Blockshow?
"The future of Blockchain conferences is that there are far fewer conferences, but focused on goals and audience (developers, merchants, investors), and will be delivered by teams focused on value, not on marketing or earning, even if those conferences were going well until last summer, things are changing now.You will not see many events happen next year from 2018, unless the encryption prices skyrocket, which is not realistic. "
Why Singapore is called the new blockchain hub in Asia and what does this mean for the local economy?
"I never heard of a" new "blockchain hub in Asia, so at least from 2016 to 2017. In addition, Asia is constantly developing its regulatory framework so that entrepreneurs, customers and investors know how to build projects and relationships, it only takes a bit of time, but Singapore has been a real blockchain since the beginning.The emerging technologies and fintech have always been crucial for the future. Singapore economy and it is logical that if you really want to build something in the long run, you must be present here. "
Bold words in the current scenario. With a series of conferences currently taking place around this week and at the start of mid-December, it will be interesting to see what will happen in space. You could do much worse than watch what happens here.
