Bitcoin Events, co-founded by Sonya Kuhnel and Theo Sauls in 2014, emerged as a result of their early adoption of cryptocurrencies and their strong belief in the transformative potential of blockchain technology. With a keen focus on addressing Africa’s significant challenges, such as financial inclusion, economic development, and job creation, they recognised the need for education and information on blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies in the region.
To bridge this knowledge gap, Bitcoin Events established a platform that offers a range of events, workshops, and educational meetups. These gatherings provide valuable opportunities for individuals and organisations to learn, connect, and network with like-minded enthusiasts and industry leaders who are actively building products and services utilising blockchain technology.
In 2015, Bitcoin Events organised the inaugural Bitcoin Africa Conference in Cape Town, which later evolved into the Blockchain Africa Conference. Currently in its 10th year, this conference has become a prominent gathering in the industry. In addition, Bitcoin Events introduced the Crypto Fest in 2019, hosting the event in Cape Town. Furthermore, we organised the virtual DeFi Conference in 2020, expanding the reach and embracing the possibilities of online engagement.
Throughout the 10-year journey, Bitcoin Events has had the honor of welcoming over 17,500 attendees from more than 165 countries. We have had the privilege of engaging with esteemed individuals and reputable companies at the forefront of the blockchain space. With a far-reaching influence, Bitcoin Events remains dedicated to empowering Africa through our world-class events, contributing to the advancement of the region’s blockchain ecosystem.
