The BSV ecosystem focuses on developing real utility on blockchain, to increase efficiency and honesty in ways that build a better world, and to do so with legal and regulatory compliance in mind.

This is the first time the BSV blockchain ecosystem's flagship event has been held in the region, in this format.

"The convention is like Woodstock, that's how influential this technology is going to be and it's going to change so many things. I hope the convention educates the big consulting companies so that they understand what this technology can do so they in fact become evangelists for us when they are brought in to solve technical problems," said Calvin Ayre, Executive Producer of BSV Global Blockchain Convention and Founder of Ayre Ventures.

The BSV Global Blockchain Convention is attracting more than one hundred twenty speakers from around the world, with high-profile thought leaders from across the blockchain and digital asset industry, and representatives of many diverse industry sectors using BSV.
