Panels and events will discuss NFTs’ role in the Metaverse, how NFTs will change the future of ownership, how to spot the most exciting projects that will lead humanity into the future and much more. An NFT gallery will be set up with some of the most exciting collections for attendees to feast their eyes on.
The future of Web3 begins in Turkey
With 20% of the Turkish population owning or using cryptocurrency, and over 25 million Turks still unbanked, Turkey remains one of the most fertile grounds for the growth of cryptocurrencies and decentralized technology.
Currently, regulations in Turkey around the use of cryptocurrencies and blockchain-based digital assets are unclear or nonexistent, making this an ideal time to discuss policy in one of the world’s leading emerging economies. In a time of market volatility — and with a global recession potentially on the horizon — it has never been more important to discuss the transition to Web3 and crypto-based finance.
“Turkey represents the ideal location to bring together the heavyweights of Web3 alongside policy makers, venture capital and large Web2 brands looking to break into Web3,” said Erhan Korhaliller, founder of Istanbul Blockchain Week and CEO of blockchain PR agency EAK Digital. “The adoption of Web3 in Turkey has been extremely promising and represents an exciting opportunity for Turkey to establish itself as a leader in the field. We look forward to showcasing to the world the passion and talent that Turkey has to offer to the industry while offering exciting opportunities for international projects to meet, partner and onboard the Turkish community.”
