Announcing Sports Blockchain Summit Speakers and Tickets

Sporting Crypto have teamed up with JohnWallStreet to launch Sports Blockchain Summit, the best-in-class mini conference for the intersection of Sports & Blockchain.

I got fed up with hearing the same, surface-level content about blockchain in sports & entertainment being peddled at the same conferences year after year.

Instead of waiting for someone to build something more substantive with real depth and nuance, I decided it was time to do it ourselves.

Here are the details:

🗽 New York City
📆 28th May, 8:30am - 2pm
🌐 150 top quality, curated attendees from the Sporting Crypto and JWS network
🔈️ World-class speakers and fireside chats that you can’t find at any crypto or sports business conference

👉️ How to get tickets 👈️ 

• Premium: We have an even more limited run of paid tickets ($999) for those who want to be in the room with our high-quality curated audience [Click here].
  

• Free: We have a limited run of free tickets for this event, which will be hand-selected to ensure the highest quality attendees [Click here]. Please note, if you are a vendor, agency, Blockchain infrastructure or crypto business, the only way to attend is via paid tickets. These will only be issued to regular attendees of SC & JWS events, and those in the JWS IQ.

I wanted this to be the best lineup anyone has seen in that intersection, and I think we’ve nailed that.
