From April 4th~5th, the forum will discuss the ‘Financial Applications of Blockchain’ and the ‘Blockchain Technology’. The speakers and panels will discuss the blockchain technology that is disrupting and leading changes in the legacy industries and the present and future of crypto currency. The forum will also take a deep dive into the synergy opportunities through cooperative efforts across nations, and the impact distributed technology will have on the economic system.

Deconomy 2019 lowered ticket prices and allowed more people to attend, to be more accommodating to the general audiences who wish to attend and take-part in speakers and panel discussions that share and direct the course of the industry for the future. Jangchung Arena can accommodate 4,000 people at a time, which is twice the size of last year’s venue.

You can now purchase the tickets to the event at the Deconomy website (https://deconomy.com/seoul2019/) where a Full Pass  that grants access to exhibition booths, access to keynote speakers and panels will cost US$99, a Exhibition Pass with access to the exhibition booths will cost US$10, and a full access VIP Pass will cost US$999 until February 28th. The Full Pass and VIP Pass includes lunch.

Deconomy organizer Jeff Paik stated, “The tickets were sold out last year and we had crowds of blockchain aficionados and enthusiats at the booths trying to get in to listen to the speakers. We tried our best this year to accommodate more people to take part in deep discussions of the present and future of the blockchain by increasing the venue and lowering prices.”
