Binance Meetup in Banjul, The Gambia

The first stop was Banjul, The Gambia, where over 160+ attendees gathered to dive deep into the world of Web3 and blockchain. The excitement in the room was undeniable—crypto-curious individuals and seasoned traders alike came together to explore real-world use cases of blockchain technology.

From decentralized finance (DeFi) to NFTs and smart contracts, the session provided a solid foundation for those looking to navigate the Web3 space. The event wasn’t just about education—it was about community. Attendees connected, shared ideas, and discussed the future of crypto adoption in The Gambia.

Binance Meetup in Conakry, Guinea

Next, we headed to Conakry, Guinea, where the energy was just as electric. With 170+ participants, this meetup took a deep dive into Binance P2P, Binance Convert, and the broader Web3 ecosystem.

Crypto accessibility was a key theme, with Binance P2P emerging as a game-changer for many attendees. The session walked participants through how to seamlessly trade crypto with core Binance tools like Convert & P2P.

Beyond trading, the discussion expanded to the future of Web3 in Africa—how blockchain can revolutionize finance, create more jobs, and empower businesses in Africa. The event ended on a high note, with attendees eager to apply their newfound knowledge and take their first steps into crypto trading and investment.

Looking Ahead

The enthusiasm, engagement, and curiosity from attendees in both The Gambia and Guinea meetups highlight the growing demand for blockchain education and adoption.

At Binance, we believe education is the first step toward financial freedom. That’s why we’ll continue bringing these learning experiences to more communities—bridging the knowledge gap and unlocking new opportunities for crypto enthusiasts across Africa.
