With 560 attendees spanning the globe, 26 exhibitors showcasing the best and brightest of blockchain innovations, and 26 speakers ready to drop some knowledge bombs, this event became the Houdini of the blockchain world—poof, and you missed it!
Leading the Charge: Elizabeth Lumley

Words of Wisdom from Bitcoin Legend Charlie Shrem
Bitcoin’s very own Charlie Shrem graced the event, comparing blockchain technology to the invention of the printing press. He claimed the speed of blockchain’s development is so staggering that we can hardly predict where it will lead us next. In his words, “Initially, we all thought blockchain was made for the financial and banking industry. But look at the variety of use cases we are seeing now!” Now, if that doesn’t give you goosebumps, what will?
The Future of Blockchain: A Community Perspective
Addy Crezee, CEO of Cointelegraph Events, pointed out that BlockShow isn’t merely a gathering of self-proclaimed tech aficionados; it’s an incubator for serious business innovation. With expectations of 50 solutions showcased in a year and a whopping 150 in three years, it’s safe to say this event is here to stay, folks! So put on your best business attire and brush up on that networking finesse.
Blockchain and Trust: A Transformational Power
Speaking of innovation, Mika Lammi from Kouvola Innovations Oy articulated blockchain’s revolutionary potential in logistics. Describing it as the backbone connecting diverse stakeholders, he hit the nail on the head. The more we understand blockchain, the more value we can apply across various industries. It’s like the Swiss Army knife of technology—utility in every corner of the business world!
Looking Ahead: More Blockchain Magic in the Future
While many attendees left still grappling with their understanding of blockchain, hope remains for next year’s BlockShow Europe. With more sessions, projects, exhibitors, and overall value, this event aims to be bigger and better every time it rolls around. Until then, keep your ear to the ground—there’s a treasure trove of insights and interviews waiting to be unearthed!
