Key Points

  • For Binance, 2022 is shaping up to be a banner year for both live events and in-person meetups.

There’s nothing more meaningful than meeting Binancians in person, and this year we’ve hosted meetups in even more countries.

There is no doubt that the world of cryptocurrency is a digital one. But that doesn’t mean we have to sit behind a screen all day. 2022 is sure to be a great year if you’re willing to get out and meet your fellow Binancians. If you didn’t have the chance to attend a Binance conference in person or tune in to a live stream, that’s okay. Let’s take a look back at the best events of 2022. If you enjoyed these events, be sure to join us next year for some great fun. There are regular events happening all around the world, and you can always attend or check out an event on Binance Live.

Binance Dubai Blockchain Summit Week Events

Last March, thousands of BUIDLers (builders), Binance users, and crypto enthusiasts gathered at the Dubai World Trade Center for three days of world-class blockchain programming. The event was held against the backdrop of 2021, when blockchain-based innovation and media attention saw a significant increase.

As the stage is set for the blockchain industry, we use this Summit Week event to explore and understand how the pieces fit together. With something for everyone, the Summit covers three main areas: Growth of the Crypto Ecosystem (everything to do with adoption, industry building, and user security), Navigating the world of Non-Fungible Tokens, GameFi, and the Metaverse, and Mastering the Essentials of Crypto Investing and Trading.

But it wasn’t all about expanding minds and sharing knowledge. Beyond the Summit, we hosted a series of events, parties, and community superconferences, enjoying the glorious sunshine in Dubai and kicking back and forth at one of the biggest events of 2022 (at the time).

Binance Paris Blockchain Summit Week Events

After the success of the Dubai event, we knew we had to keep doing it. Six months after the gala in the UAE, in September, we held our Binance Blockchain Summit Week in Paris again. In the City of Lights, we took another look at what makes the blockchain world go round with some of the best speakers and key players.

The event adopted the Paris theme of combining fashion and media, and explored blockchain technology with industry insiders. From former world No. 1 tennis player Maria Sharapova to Panos A. Panay, president of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, the star-studded lineup of media and blockchain celebrities made up the conference.

Primavera Sound Festival in Spain and Portugal

Binance made its presence known in 2022 when it had its own stage at the Primavera Sound music festival. The party was held in Barcelona and Portugal for two full weekends, during which users could experience cryptocurrency payments, receive NFT drops and proof of attendance protocol (POAP) blind boxes, and have the opportunity to win grand prizes and receive free drinks.

From June 2 to 12, over 5,000 attendees experienced NFTs first-hand at our two Binance Rooms in Porto and Barcelona. In addition, Binance gave away over 35 NFTs and 5,000 drinks to POAP NFT holders. We are also very proud to offer some tangible benefits to NFT holders.

In 2021-2022, Primavera Sound attendees can apply for NFTs, and holders can get a free full ticket to Primavera Sound in 2023. Isn’t this a good Binance reward?

Web Summit 2022

In November, Binance returned to Portugal to attend Web Summit in Lisbon, one of the largest tech events in the world. In addition to launching the first-ever NFT at the conference (over 7,600 items were claimed), Binance also hosted events and giveaways at its booth.

Attendees had two opportunities to hear CZ speak in person, one at a fireside chat on opening night and another at a community gathering. Binance also provided food trucks so attendees could eat nearby. The Binance food truck traveled around Lisbon, and visitors could request free coffee and pastel cake. Wouldn’t it be nice to have street food like this?

It is a rare opportunity for Binance to share dreams, visions, and goals at an important global technology event. The gathering of Binance users always turns into a carnival party. We are very happy to attract more people to this industry through the live event in Lisbon.

Binance 5th Anniversary Celebration

2022 is a special year for Binance as it celebrated its fifth anniversary in July. Since Binance received French regulatory approval in May, Paris became the perfect place for Binance to hold its fifth anniversary celebration. People often say that going to Paris is definitely a good idea.

Binance held a one-day community meetup in the scenic Parc Floral in Paris, focusing on Binance’s innovation and development. Binance employees, Angels, and users participated in a series of talks and activities, and of course, there was time for cake cutting and toasts at the end.

There will be more exciting events coming up in 2023

If what you’ve seen and heard has got you in the mood to hang out with other Binancians, your schedule will be filled with events both large and small in 2023. In addition to this meetup, we’ll also be hosting local meetups for the community around the world.

What is the slogan for 2023? Binance Party is the best party!
