The
@SolanaSummitOrg may have been the best one I’ve attended this year — organized entirely by the community.
A few highlights:
1. High quality attendance. Was great to meet the founders of BirdEye, Drift, CoinGecko, Jupiter, Backpack, founders the SpringX cohort and many others. Reminder that curated, in-person events remain the best format to catalyze collaboration bw teams.
2. Truly regional conference. 1900+ applicants, 55+ countries (70% attendees were from overseas countries) and 50% were founders and developers.
3. Policy. Malaysia is welcoming blockchain founders (with nomad visas, tech pass etc) — and
@mymdec officials attended the event to evangelize the program.
Reminder that policy progress can be achieved via partnerships with techno-progressive jurisdictions. Talent and capital will continue to flow to states with the most progressive regulations.
Overall, great work by the teams involved.
@SolanaSummitOrg is taking the conference global. Give them a follow if you haven’t already.
