Last year’s event was graced by one of the original founders of blockchain technology, Scott Stornetta, co-author of the first ever publication to mention blockchain architecture and the utilization of time-stamps for ordering transactions. It was his system that was later used by Satoshi Nakamoto to develop Bitcoin. Other dignitaries included the Prime minister of Malta, The Royal Highness of Abu Dhabi, the Winkelvoss twins, John McAfee and curiously Sophia, the world’s first robot citizen.

This year crypto-enthusiasts will again converge to rub shoulders with, hear from and do business with the world’s leading stakeholders in Blockchain tech, AI, IoT, Big Data and Quantum Technologies. The world is rapidly changing as the fourth industrial revolution dawns and you won’t want to miss this opportunity to be part of the riveting discussions about all the potential applications of these exiting emergent technologies.

Of the over 220 blockchain leaders, dignitaries and other tech pioneers announced to give presentations or attend this year’s event, some of the most notable include the Honourable Maltese Prime Minister, his deputy Prime Minister, the minister for financial services and the minister of home affairs, the Archduke of Austria, Tim Draper, Brock Pierce, Roger Ver, Tone Vays, Larry Sanger (co-founder of Wikipedia), Pascal Gauthier (president of Ledger cold wallets), David Orban (AI investor), Ben Goertzel (CEO of SingularityNET), Sophia Robot (first ever AI citizen), and of course many other CEOs, academics, scientists and tech company founders well worth meeting.

Already over 10 000 attendees are expected, including 300 exhibitors, 700 investors and probably the biggest gathering of the cream of the blockchain and AI industry in the world all in one place at one time. This year’s event location is bigger than ever, since so many more attendees will be present on “Blockchain Island”, thanks to the success of last year’s event. With the Maltese government due to announce their focus on the national legal framework for AI, we are certain to access some quality content from the conferences by expert keynote speakers and tech influencers regarding the application of today’s and tomorrow’s technologies.
