The IBW2024 Conference, the two-day headline event anchoring India Blockchain
Week (IBW), will be held on 4-5 December 2024, 9am-6pm, at the Sheraton Grand
Bengaluru Whitefield Hotel & Convention Center. It’s the first-ever platform for Indian Web3 builders and innovators to explore collaboration opportunities with global industry leaders. The main conference is hosted by Hashed Emergent, a web3 venture capital firm dedicated to accelerating the mass adoption of web3 in India and other emerging markets.

India has ranked #1 in crypto adoption for two consecutive years, as per Chainalysis.
The country is playing an increasingly important role in the global web3 ecosystem,
accounting for over 12% of the global web3 developer base. It is also home to over 1,000 web3 startups, according to a joint report by Hashed Emergent, KPMG in India, Devfolio, Coinswitch, and Kratos Gaming Network (KGeN). These achievements highlight India’s resilience and enthusiasm for digital assets despite the perception of stringent regulations.

Some of the key highlights of the gathering include:
● IBW2024 Conference: Held on 4-5 December 2024 at the Sheraton Grand Whitefield, it features keynote speeches and panel discussions on the latest developments and opportunities in the web3 space, and examining the policy landscape. It will also feature stage events and workshops by Aptos, Starkware, and other companies.

● IBW Demo Day: The Demo Day will be held alongside the main conference on the 4th of December. It will spotlight 15 notable Indian web3 startups at the IBW2024 Conference venue. The Demo Day will cater to the broad audience including investors, founders, builders and others.

● ETHIndia: Organized by Devfolio from Dec 6-8, it is one of the world's largest
Ethereum hackathons, hosting over 1,500 builders and 25+ workshops.

The IBW organizers would like to thank the sponsors for their help in making it the
most important event in the country for conversations about crypto, blockchain, web3, and policymaking. The key sponsors include Aptos, Polygon, Starkware and Starknet Foundation, with many more in the process of joining the list to support the event.
