About Blockchain & Decentralized Tech SuperSummit

Blockchain & Decentralized Tech SuperSummit is an international conference on blockchain and distributed ledger technologies that will be held from October 30 - November 2, 2018, at the Plano Event Center in Texas (USA). It is the follow up event to the recently-concluded Blockchain & Cryptocurrency Con 2018, which saw attendees from 15 countries and 29 US states converge at the Addison Conference and Theatre Centre for 3 days of formal classroom training and conference presentations.

Space limitations kept the attendance at that event at 300, but the Plano Event Center gives us enough room to host more than 2000 attendees.

Activities for the 4-day event will consist of 1.5 days of formal classroom training and 2.5 days of exhibitions and multi-track conference presentations as follows:

  • Day 1: Classroom training starts.
  • Day 2: Classroom training continues until about 1 p.m. General attendee registration starts at 1 p.m. and general conference sessions start at about 2 p.m.
  • Day 3: General conference sessions continue.
  • Day 4: General conference sessions continue and end at about 4 p.m.
