MarketAcross, the world’s leading blockchain PR & marketing firm, has been appointed the official global media partner for the Korea Blockchain Week (KBW), Asia’s flagship blockchain event. The partnership will see MarketAcross manage the pre- and post-event marketing and PR efforts, bring prominent speakers, and help raise the profile of the prestigious event worldwide.
The KBW2022 will take place in the heart of Seoul at the InterContinental Grand Seoul Parnas between August 7-12. Hosted by FactBlock and co-hosted by Hashed in partnership with ROK Capital, the highly anticipated in-person event is making a comeback after two years of hiatus due to COVID-19.
Seonik Jeon, Factblock & Korea Blockchain Week founder added that “As we have not held Korea Blockchain Week for the past two years due to Covid-19, I’m especially excited and have high expectations for this year’s upcoming event. Furthermore, I believe that the addition of global leading marketing company, MarketAcross, as our official partner will help unlock the full potential of Korea Blockchain Week and add tremendous value to the event.”
At KBW2022 the global crypto industry’s main players, evangelists and business leaders will discuss blockchain technology, cryptocurrency, DeFi, NFT, Metaverse, Web3, GameFi, and more. Past speakers at the KBW include Nick Szabo, Vitalik Buterin, Adam Back, Sam Bankman-Fried, Silvio Micali, Michael Novogratz, Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao, Gavin Wood, Sergey Nazarov, Sébastien Borget, and others.
Edward Hong, Head of Platform at Hashed said that “The power of community lies at sharing insights and opportunities. Korea Blockchain Week is a festival and a community that is designed to let people learn, connect, and have fun at the heart of Seoul. With our trusted partner MarketAcross, Korea Blockchain Week will shed light on the crypto community once again.”
Itai Elizur, Managing Partner at MarketAcross concluded that “After two years off, it’s great to have Korea Blockchain Week back. The event was always a must-go for us, and one of the most important days of the year. We are truly honored to join our long time partners Factblok and Hashed in making this the best annual event in Asia.”
Delegates are going to have an action-packed week in Seoul with an expected 60K visitors in town for Seoul E-Prix and Seoul Festa.
