The best Blockchain, Cryptocurrency and NFT events to attend in 2022
Plus, there’s nothing more rewarding than meeting other community members and possibly finding new projects, investment opportunities or exclusive candy.
To that end, the Supplain team has created this NFT guide to the top blockchain, cryptocurrency and NFT conferences and events for 2022.
Why attend NFT events?
NFT events are essential for blockchain professionals and cryptocurrency enthusiasts, whether virtual or in-person. Attending NFT conferences is the most important way to stay informed of the latest industry trends and network with others you have met in cryptocurrency communities.
In addition, NFT events feature new blockchain and web 3.0 technologies that professionals leverage the business potential for greater collaboration in the industry.
With NFT conferences and events on hiatus due to pandemic restrictions, 2022 will change all that. Many NFT events intend to plan IRL shows.

Blockchain Economy Summit
October 4-5

Given the UAE’s pro-cryptocurrency regulations, it makes sense for these events to be held in the capital, which is seeing cryptocurrency companies and investors flock to it.
Back in 2018, the Dubai government launched this annual conference with the goal of bringing together thought leaders, startups and investors in one space to help promote the city as a cryptocurrency hub.
Last year, MicroStrategy co-founder Michael Saylor, Bitcoin maximalist Tone Vays and Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal were among the speakers discussing crypto, DeFi, NFT and Metaverse.
Unlike other events, the Dubai government is making the conference accessible to regular people by keeping the ticket cost at around $50.
So, if you want to learn more about cryptocurrencies and network with some of the brightest minds in the industry, these conferences are a great way to meet with them as well as other crypto enthusiasts.
