Now in its 2nd year, Decipher is a leading annual conference on blockchain and Web3 use cases. Hosted by the Algorand Foundation, Decipher will present its 2022 edition in Dubai, UAE – a burgeoning crypto capital – and feature top industry voices from FTX, SkyBridge Capital, Envision Racing, Napster, Binance, Sino Global Capital, LimeWire, and more.
The Algorand Foundation today revealed the agenda for its second annual Decipher conference, featuring leading thinkers, builders, and founders from across the blockchain landscape, to be hosted at Madinat Jumeirah Conference & Events Centre in Dubai, UAE, from November 28-30, 2022. The Algorand Foundation’s mission is to grow and empower the ecosystem around Algorand–the leading carbon-negative Layer-1 blockchain–and Decipher’s programming will highlight top founders and investors from both within and beyond the Algorand network.
A Power-Packed Conference Programme
More than 120 speakers will participate in the conference across four stages and 50 sessions. Registrants will also be able to sign up for one-on-one mentoring with blockchain leaders, learn to set up wallets and experience play-to-earn games, explore a high-end curated NFT art gallery, take part in hands-on workshops, designed for developers and led by the engineers and product leaders behind the Algorand protocol, and more.
On the morning of November 30th, there will be a special Women’s Breakfast Club event from 8:30 – 10:00 AM, free and open to all women in the web3 technology community: https://www.algorand.foundation/events/womens-breakfast-club-decipher-2022
