We’ve noticed that flagship events for specific blockchain ecosystems, like Polkadot's Decoded, often struggle with attendance despite significant effort and expense. Most Web3 conferences are very tech-focused. What if we hosted a “business” blockchain event that brings together multiple industries for collective learning and growth?
Imagine an event focused on practical business use cases instead of complex technology analysis. We will invite Web2 IT providers, enterprises, and government organizations to explore how blockchain can benefit them. This approach broadens the appeal and highlights the tangible benefits of blockchain in various sectors.
The BlockSummit vision is about awareness as the first step toward achieving long-term adoption and industry-driven insights. It places the community at the heart of the event. We can demonstrate blockchain's transformative potential by focusing on real-world applications and success stories. This event will be a collaborative effort, uniting enthusiasts from various industries. This inclusive approach will create a richer and more diverse learning experience for everyone.
We can manage costs more effectively by targeting a smaller, more focused audience and ensuring a high-impact event without a hefty price tag. Leveraging community involvement will build a more engaged audience, enhancing the summit's overall impact.

Before moving forward, we must ensure community support to determine if BlockSummit is viable. Our goal is not to recreate Decoded but to test what we can achieve as a community with a non-technical event and a more modest budget. The input from the community will be invaluable in shaping BlockSummit into an event that truly meets the needs and aspirations of the blockchain community. Once we have community backing, we can take the necessary next steps.
