Europe’s premier AI & blockchain event praised by attendees as the best show The Malta AI & Blockchain Summit came to a close last Saturday after three days of jam-packed conferences, workshops, and a busy expo floor. More than 6500 attendees made AIBC Summit a massive success for the emerging tech sectors, and with Grammy Award-nominated artist Akon wowing the crowds at the closing night, it was a star-studded close to the week. Superstar Akon speaking about Akoin and his ambitious plans for Africa The summit attracted over 150 quality exhibitors, resulting in high energy on the expo floor which lasted long into the day, while 700 investors brought opportunities to delegates looking to forge solid business relationships. Eman Pulis commented on this massive event, stating how “The show has been a tremendous success and a truly global affair for all those involved. We were encouraged to see so many delegates from Asian countries present, including Thailand, Korea, the Philippines, Japan and China. This absolutely validates our decision to co-locate our show to Manila in June 2020, and we’re looking forward to building new partnerships between east and west next year.” Across two days of unmissable conference content, a number of well-known faces took to the stage, including Bobby Lee, Craig Wright, Mati Greenspan, David Orban and of course, Akon, who spoke about bringing Africa into the blockchain world with his Akoin token. The AIBC workshops also drew significant interest, with key figures speaking out on a plethora of industry hot topics.

Eman Pulis concluded, “It’s been such an amazing week, with so many luminaries from the emerging tech sectors taking to our conference stage and bringing the community together for the future. Last year we were talking about theory, and in 2019 we’ve been talking about implementation. I’m sure 2020 will be full of success stories from all our valued exhibitors and partners, across the world.” Kishor M., Eman Pulis and Junior Minister Silvio Schembri casually taking a selfie, amidst the hustle and bustle of the Malta AIBC, November Edition The AIBC team are now looking ahead to next year’s expansion to the eastern hemisphere, with the next summit already locked in for June 8th and 9th in Manila, the Philippines, running alongside SiGMA Group’s other events for the iGaming and medical cannabis sectors.
