It marked the presence of key players from the industry who interacted with builders and guided, mentored, and supported them to thrive in the bear market.
“It lights me up to see the ecosystem has come so far without any support from the government or big institutions. Speaks a lot to the thought that nobody can stop an idea whose time has come. Together, the ecosystem has made so much happen and I see the future to be even brighter” – Akshay Aggarwal, Draper Dragon
The unconference continues gaining popularity among top Web3 professionals and enthusiasts because of its exceptional niche networking.
