**************************************************************************************
April 6, 2017 - BlockShow Europe 2017 will take place in Alte Kongresshalle, Munich.
The conference is going to become the major international event for showcasing established Blockchain solutions.

Blockchain is hailed as one of the most revolutionary technologies in the past few decades. This year, the industry has experienced an intense influx of investment - the volume of funds invested in Blockchain startups has exceeded $1B, and two of the largest VC deals of this year were also Blockchain-related. In addition to that, the technology has managed to receive public recognition from such global giants as Visa, PayPal, and Mastercard. This state of affairs has formed a favorable environment for startups, and thus a real boom followed as a result: the number of young Blockchain companies has grown fourfold over the past year.

Becoming more and more accepted worldwide, “the biggest innovation after the Internet itself” is receiving a growing number of various practical implementations and taking over the markets - both inside and outside the financial sector. This is why the main goal of BlockShow Europe 2017 is to become a major international platform for showcasing the most disruptive Blockchain use cases in all their multiplicity.

However, none of the Blockchain projects exists in a vacuum - there is a wide range of various external factors considerably influencing the whole industry, and this cannot be ignored. This is why BlockShow Europe 2017 will be opened by a talk about the current state of Blockchain, and the succeeding conference program will include talks and panel discussions on topics such as “Overcoming the Challenges of Blockchain Implementation”, “Blockchain Ecosystem from the Perspective of Banks and Enterprises”, “Security on Blockchain” and numerous others. As for the direct objective of BlockShow Europe 2017, a large-scale comprehensive presentation of the existing revolutionary Blockchain projects will be set out in two parts. In addition, the conference will provide startups with opportunity to compete with each other for the title of “The Best Blockchain Startup of 2017” in a competition which will be hosted by Blockchain Angels.

Among the conference speakers will be prominent experts and practitioners of the global Blockchain industry, such as Ned Scott (CEO & Co-founder at Steemit), Adam Stradling (Bitcoin & Blockchain pioneer and co-founder of Bitcoin.com), Ismail Malik (CEO of Blockchain Lab and founder of SmartLedger), Bernd Lapp (Advisor at the Ethereum Foundation), Jamie Burke (Founder of Blockchain Angels), Matej Michalko (Founder & CEO at DECENT), and Bruce Pon (CEO & Co-Founder at BigchainDB). This non-exhaustive list is about to expand - so watch for updates!

BlockShow Europe 2017 is organized by the popular Bitcoin & Blockchain media outlet CoinTelegraph in partnership with Zurich-based Blockchain platform Nexussquared and Blockchain payment processor BlockPay. The upcoming event won’t be the first one for CoinTelegraph - in August this year, the company held Helsinki Blockchain Conference 2016, the first high-profile Blockchain-dedicated event in the Nordics, which attracted massive attention from the regional Blockchain community.
