After a groundbreaking debut in 2022, the W3Expo, organized by web3 Marketing & PR Agency EAK Digital, is set to make a triumphant return on August 13-14 at the Hilton Istanbul Bomonti Hotel & Conference Center, reaffirming its commitment to the Web3 gaming industry.
With a unique vision that prioritizes gaming first, the W3Expo is dedicated to placing Web3 games directly into the hands of consumers. Unlike typical B2B events or being tucked away in the NFT corner of crypto conventions, W3Expo stands out as a dedicated gaming showcase that merges the worlds of web2, web3 and esports. It welcomes all genres across PC, mobile, and console platforms and features live esports action on stage.
Turkey’s reputation as a hotspot for gaming is well-earned, with its vibrant casual gaming market capturing the hearts of millions. As a nation, it has swiftly climbed the ranks to become one of the top five global adopters of Web3 technology, further solidified by its burgeoning esports industry. This unique combination of passion for gaming, technological embrace, and competitive spirit makes Turkey the ideal host for W3Expo 2024. Integrated within Istanbul Blockchain Week (IBW), the expo is set to draw an international audience exceeding 4,000, comprising gamers, developers, and Web3 enthusiasts eager to explore the latest in gaming innovation.
The design of W3Expo’s exhibition spaces is a testament to immersive and interactive gaming experiences. They feature intuitively designed walk-up-and-play game stations equipped with PCs and mobile devices. Every setup is linked to large monitors, ensuring that the thrill of gameplay is shared with onlookers. This creates a community atmosphere where every victory and defeat can be collectively experienced.
Avalanche is set to present its gaming repertoire by presenting Raini: Lords of Light along with Providence, Spellborne, RoboKiden and Fableborne, each uniquely leveraging Avalanche’s robust blockchain technology. These additions promise to enrich the W3Expo experience, offering players diverse, immersive experiences ranging from strategic battles to innovative gameplay mechanics in the other titles.
Commenting on the return, Damian Bartlett, W3E Team Lead at W3Expo, said:
“We’re excited to bring W3Expo back to Istanbul, 2022 was a ground-breaking event where we merged web3 gaming in its infancy, with web2 and esports. Our focus is on prioritizing gaming, ensuring it reaches true enthusiasts, and showcasing web3 alongside the traditional gaming industry on an equal footing.
“With Turkey’s strong gaming and esports culture, along with its leading position in web3 adoption, there’s no better place for W3Expo 2024.”
Join us at W3Expo 2024 to experience the forefront of Web3 gaming innovation. Whether you’re a gamer, developer, or enthusiast, this is your chance to be part of an event that celebrates the future of gaming.
