At WOW Summit 2024, you’re not just attending a conference; you’re stepping into the future of technology. We’re shaking things up with a dynamic and immersive event that’s unlike anything you’ve experienced before.

There are enough conferences where people come, listen and go. But that’s not our story. Imagine a summit where you’re not just a passive listener, but an active participant in shaping the future. Our lineup of world-class speakers and inspiring agenda offer unique opportunities to do just that.

We’re expecting to join over 5,000 attendees from more than 30 countries, facilitated by strong community ties across diverse regions, including China, Southeast Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas. This truly global representation will ensure that discussions and collaborations at WOW Summit reflect a wide range of perspectives. This makes the event a catalyst for new partnerships, innovations, and industry standards, and it should be a vibrant environment for networking and collaboration. Our interactive learning approach, including workshops and demonstrations, ensures that everyone can grasp key concepts and participate meaningfully.

How does the expanded focus on AI, mobility, and fintech enhance WOW Summit 2024?

WOW Summit’s broader focus on AI, mobility, and fintech attracts a wider audience — and also showcases practical applications, explores future trends, and stimulates investment. By moving beyond mere Web3 and blockchain, the summit attracts a wider audience, creating a more diverse and dynamic environment for collaboration and innovation. Integrating these emerging fields showcases how blockchain and Web3 concepts are being adopted in practical ways, allowing attendees to see the tangible impact of these technologies and explore their potential across various industries.

Besides, this broader perspective helps attendees gain insights into how different technologies will converge and shape the landscape in the coming years. Bringing together experts from various fields fosters a cross-inspiration of ideas, sparking new applications and solutions within the Web3 space and vice versa. Highlighting these growth sectors can attract investors seeking opportunities in the future of technology, benefiting startups showcasing their work at the summit and stimulating further growth within the industry.

Overall, the expanded focus positions WOW Summit 2024 as a premier event for anyone interested in the cutting edge of technological innovation and its impact on various industries. It fosters a more holistic view of the future where blockchain, Web3, AI, mobility, and fintech work together to shape the world of tomorrow.

With such a large international audience, how will WOW Summit ensure an all-embracing experience?

Fostering inclusivity for our international audience is a top priority. We’ve built strong community ties across various regions, ensuring our content resonates with a wider range of interests. The event’s size and timing offer ample networking opportunities, and we’re designing a program that transcends language barriers through visual aids and interactive elements. While we’re still finalizing details, we’re exploring options for multilingual support to further enhance the experience for our international guests. Our goal is to create a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere where attendees feel empowered to participate, learn, and connect with the global tech community.

The event will be held concurrently with major tech events like Thailand Blockchain Week, ETHGlobal, and Devcon. How do you see this synergy benefiting attendees and fostering cross-industry collaboration?

As our summit coincides with other major industry gatherings, it presents a prime platform for networking, collaboration, and gaining valuable insights into the evolving digital landscape.

By centralizing tech events in Bangkok, we’re fostering a vibrant ecosystem where industry professionals can easily network, learn, and explore multiple events. In my opinion, it will be a unique and valuable experience for attendees. This overlap of events creates opportunities for ideas exchange, knowledge sharing, and building relationships. Ultimately, this synergy will help to strengthen the overall tech industry ecosystem by driving innovation, collaboration, and growth. With their expanded focus and world-class speakers, WOW Summit, Blockchain Week and other events are the ideal space for attendees to meet the latest technological advancements, connect with industry leaders, and be at the forefront of digital innovation.

How will WOW Summit 2024 contribute to the future of Web3?

WOW Summit 2024 is set to be a game-changer for the future of Web3 by bringing together the most innovative minds, leading thinkers, and dynamic organizations from around the globe to explore, discuss, and shape the direction of digital technology. By hosting the summit in Bangkok — a rapidly growing hub for tech innovation in Southeast Asia — we’re creating a unique space for both established leaders and emerging players to connect, collaborate, and co-create.

Basically, it reminds me of the choice scene in Matrix: pick the blue pill, and keep on adapting to the evolving landscape, or pick the red pill, and shape the evolution yourself.

This year, our focus is not only on the technology itself but also on the broader ecosystem that surrounds it, such as regulatory landscapes, societal impact, and practical applications. By doing so, WOW Summit 2024 becomes the ultimate platform for fostering dialogue on the most pressing issues and opportunities within Web3.

Our strategic partners, like Oasis Labs, Tongzheng Education, DTC Group, MMPro Group, and Uvecon.VC, bring unparalleled expertise in areas ranging from Web3 education and incubation to providing essential tools and resources for crypto initiatives. These partnerships not only elevate the quality and impact of the event but also ensure that the conversations and connections forged here will have long-lasting implications for the Web3 ecosystem.

I believe this summit will set new benchmarks for the industry, drive the development of transformative technologies, and help create a more decentralized, secure, and user-centric digital world.

So, join us in Bangkok and be a part of the future of Web3!
