Web3 Event Participation Guide: How to Efficiently Choose and Attend Offline Conferences

For participants in the Web3 space, choosing the right offline events and attending them efficiently is an important skill. This article will provide some suggestions on how to select event locations and how to participate effectively.

Choose Activity Location

The primary consideration for choosing offline events is the host city. The policy environment and entrepreneurial atmosphere of a city directly affect its ability to attract quality institutions and projects. Here are a few regions worth paying attention to:

Hong Kong (Five-Star Recommendation)

Hong Kong has become one of the cities with the most intensive Web3 activities in the world. For Chinese investors, Hong Kong is not only conveniently located but also more aligned in terms of policies, culture, and language. It has become an ideal bridge to enter the international Web3 network.

The density of Web3 activities in Hong Kong stems from a series of policy supports and market vitality, including the VASP licensing mechanism, the establishment of compliant trading platforms, and local incubators' support for Web3 projects. In 2024, Hong Kong has hosted over a hundred Web3 events covering various directions such as investment, technology, and ecology.

Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Thailand (Four-Star Recommendation)

• Singapore: As a crypto-friendly country, it has a clear compliance framework and several high-quality events.
• Japan: The government plays a strong leading role, focusing in recent years on promoting compliant NFTs, blockchain games, and digital identity.
• South Korea: Technology-driven, with active developments in areas such as blockchain games, ZK, and Web3 social, and a mature developer ecosystem.
• Thailand: A newly emerging Web3-friendly country, with a rapidly developing entertainment-oriented Web3 ecosystem, and an active GameFi and NFT community.

These regions can serve as supplementary sites to Hong Kong, allowing investors to selectively participate based on their own track preferences and resource foundations.

USA, Middle East (Samsung Recommended)

• USA: BTC ecosystem, AI native protocols, and high activity of top DAOs, but the participation threshold is relatively high.
• The Middle East (especially Dubai): is rapidly building Web3 infrastructure, with resources concentrated in sovereign funds and large consortiums.

These two regions are suitable for investors with clear goals and strong resource allocation capabilities.

How to Attend Meetings Efficiently

Clarify the purpose

Choose the appropriate participation method based on your identity:

• Investors: Focus on structured information scenarios such as VC communication, project roadshows, and Demo Days.
• Focus on overseas strategies or market trends: Participate in compliance forums and small project roundtables to gain real experience.

Make good use of offline opportunities

• Prepare business cards and social media QR codes, and actively participate in the free exchange session.
• Pay attention to Side Events, as these occasions often gather specific types of projects or funding sources.
• Collect activities of interest in advance and create a schedule.

Management Expectations

Meaningful exchanges often occur in informal settings. Keep an open mind and do not expect every event to yield significant gains. Continuous participation and building long-term connections are more valuable than a one-time successful transaction.

Finally, please remember to participate in Web3 activities under the premise of legality and compliance, and invest with caution.
