Dubai has recently become a key hotspot, hosting a series of Web3 and cryptocurrency events, attracting industry leaders, innovators, and enthusiasts to explore the latest developments in blockchain and decentralized technology.
Starting from mid-April, a series of industry conferences and events drew a large number of attendees. However, heavy rainfall and flooding became another buzzword for those in Dubai. By last Tuesday evening, Dubai’s rainfall had surpassed 142 millimeters, exceeding the city’s annual average of 94.7 millimeters. Rain is not typically associated with the desert city, and Dubai’s drainage issues are apparent.
Despite some unexpected weather challenges that disrupted a few events, the excitement and enthusiasm for Web3 and crypto remained undeterred. Attendees had the opportunity to network with leading industry figures, participate in panel discussions, and explore new business ventures in the ever-evolving crypto landscape.
While in Dubai, the CESS team sponsored, hosted, and participated in a series of events, taking the opportunity to interact with industry leaders, join keynote speeches and panel discussions and explore new business opportunities in the ever-evolving crypto world. Here’s a recap of the exciting activities they were involved in:
