Yaroslav Bogdanov: Blockchain Life 2024 helps to form a professional crypto community

Blockchain Life 2024, a forum dedicated to cryptocurrencies and Web3, took place at Festival Arena in Dubai from 22-23 October.

Blockchain Life 2024 attracted over 10,000 attendees from 120 countries, bringing together key players from across the global crypto ecosystem in Dubai. Crypto funds, government officials, miners, developers and startups have gathered in the UAE to discuss the future of cryptocurrencies and the blockchain space.

This prestigious event offered participants a unique opportunity to make new connections, strengthen collaborations and explore the cutting-edge innovations shaping the industry. Yaroslav Bogdanov, President of GDA Group, participated in the Blockchain Life 2024 forum, said.

Speakers at the crypto forum included such high-profile names as Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino, Animoca Brands co-founder Yat Siu, Ledger CEO Pascal Gauthier, Litecoin Foundation co-founder Xinxi Wang, and many others. 

“Every Blockchain Life 2024 guest had the opportunity to participate in panel discussions. In addition to an impressive line-up of speakers, Blockchain Life 2024 offered unprecedented networking opportunities. Thanks to the presence of top-notch crypto industry experts at the event, the discussions were rich in insights and gave the participants the most valuable experience,” said Yaroslav Bogdanov.

In addition, the Blockchain Life Startup Pitch competition was announced as part of the CryptoForum to highlight innovative blockchain and cryptocurrency projects capable of transforming the industry. Participants were evaluated based on the relevance of their business models to investors’ needs, team competence, and the feasibility of the ideas presented. The winners will receive the attention of investors in attendance and leading industry visionaries. 

“It is important to note here that such contests at Blockchain Life 2024 are not just a successful promotional move by the organizers. The winners of previous years have been well supported at the startup stage and have already achieved significant growth, including companies that received large investments after their participation in the Startup Pitch,” explained the president of GDA Group.
Such Blockchain Life 2024 serious events are necessary for the crypto industry, Yaroslav Bogdanov believes. Such large-scale forums, combining both narrow subject panels and live communication in a less formal environment, facilitate networking and partnerships, the birth of new ideas and the immediate search for ways to implement them. All of this drives the industry forward.

“This is especially important in a rapidly changing field. Cryptoconferences also help raise awareness and educate about blockchain and cryptocurrencies as innovative areas of development. Speeches by leading experts, panel discussions and masterclasses provide valuable information for both newcomers and experienced professionals. Finally, such events contribute to the formation of a professional community. The crypto industry is often perceived as something fragmented, and such events help unite people working on common goals and projects. As a result, cryptoconferences become an important basis for the growth, development and sustainability of the entire industry,” said Yaroslav Bogdanov.
