Peter Brady, Associate Vice President of the Technology Cluster at Dubai World Trade Centre, highlighted the importance of this year’s summit, stating, “Future Blockchain Summit 2024 will once again serve as a dynamic platform designed to empower disruptors and ignite sector growth. We are excited to bring together the brightest minds and leaders to foster collaboration, inspire transformation, and solidify Dubai’s position as a global hub for blockchain innovation.”

The 2024 edition will feature comprehensive discussions on how blockchain technology intersects with emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and Extended Reality (XR). Leading innovators from across Europe and North Africa will explore how these combined technologies are transforming various industries and driving unprecedented change. The summit will offer a deep dive into the convergence of blockchain with these technologies, presenting attendees with valuable insights into the future of the tech landscape.

One of the major highlights of this year’s summit will be the discussion on non-fungible tokens (NFTs), which are revolutionizing the digital ownership landscape. The conversation will focus on how NFTs are reshaping industries by providing secure, decentralized methods for protecting and transferring digital assets. This emerging field has the potential to significantly alter the entertainment, art, and real estate sectors, among others.

The summit will also focus on decentralized finance (DeFi) and the tokenization of traditional assets, both of which are expected to disrupt financial markets in the coming years. DeFi has become a powerful force in global finance, offering new opportunities for investment and changing the way financial services are delivered.

Another crucial topic is the future of digital identities in the Web3 era, with a special session led by Brian Rose, Founder & Host of London Real, and Raido Saar, President of the Estonian Web3 Chamber. This session will explore how blockchain technology is enabling self-sovereign identities, giving users more control over their personal data and digital presence in a decentralized web.

A key session titled “Into the Metaverse” will feature speakers like Sebastien Borget, Co-Founder & COO of The Sandbox, and Yat Siu, Co-Founder & Executive Chairman of Animoca Brands. The panel will examine the role of blockchain in the gaming industry, focusing on how technologies like AI, virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR) are revolutionizing gaming and creating next-generation experiences. Additionally, discussions will cover the future of decentralized game development and the rise of esports, offering a comprehensive look at how blockchain is reshaping the gaming industry.

The summit will also feature a significant panel on global regulations, comparing the regulatory frameworks of the U.S., Europe, and Asia. Experts will discuss the role of compliance tools, regulatory sandboxes, and how they facilitate experimentation and international collaboration within the blockchain sector.

Some of the event's key sponsors, including Bitpanda, Coin W, DMCC, Fastex, Toobit, Sui, Coindesk Indices, M2, and Fasset, will showcase their latest innovations, reinforcing their positions at the forefront of the blockchain industry. The sponsorship lineup reflects the breadth of involvement from global leaders driving the next wave of blockchain advancements.

The Future Blockchain Summit 2024 promises to be a landmark event, offering a unique opportunity to connect with industry leaders, investors, and innovators, all while discussing and shaping the future of blockchain technology. With its deep dive into emerging trends and technologies, the event will solidify Dubai's role as a global epicenter of blockchain innovation.
