In the golden autumn of October, the 2024 Shanghai Blockchain International Week will be grandly unveiled. Among them, on October 17, the "10th Blockchain Global Summit" hosted by Wanxiang Blockchain Lab will be presented at the Shanghai Innovation and Creative Design Institute (former site of Leshide Institute of Technology, No. 505 East Changzhi Road).
From October 11th to 19th, dozens of side events such as technology sharing and project demonstrations, art markets, academic seminars, etc. are also planned to be held at various venues in Hongkou, Shanghai.
Since 2015, the Blockchain Global Summit, as a bellwether and grand event of the industry, has witnessed the rapid development and transformation of blockchain technology. In the past nine summits, representatives of well-known projects and industry elite leaders from all over the world have shared their insights and exchanged practical experiences here. Each summit has brought cutting-edge technological trends and profound industry insights to the participants.
It can be said that the previous summits are not only a platform for global blockchain enthusiasts and practitioners to exchange ideas and collide wisdom, but also a "barometer" for the development of the industry every year.

Review of previous summits
On October 15, 2015, the first summit with the theme of "Blockchain New Economy: Blueprint" was recognized by the industry as a landmark event in the development of blockchain in China. Since then, every Wanxiang Blockchain Global Summit has witnessed an important historical node in the development of blockchain in China and even the world.
