The summit will cover four conferences and is expected to attract no less than 4000 delegates, 100 speakers and 150 sponsors and exhibitors from prominent players in within blockchain and DLT.

Inspired by the recent initiation of Malta’s Virtual Currency Act, the Malta Blockchain Summit will be held for the first time this year on the 1^st to 2^nd November at the Malta InterContinental in St Julian’s.

The summit is comprised of four conferences covering the field’s government and regulation, marketing and affiliation, fintech, tokenomics and cryptocurrencies, and blockchain for developers.

This week, it was confirmed that serial-entrepreneur and Co-Founder of Kamibox, Christopher Obereder, will join the conference as a keynote speaker. Obereder is on the Forbes 30 under 30 for a number of successful ventures in gaming, social media and communications.
