CRYPTOCURRENCY AND BLOCKCHAIN EVENTS
Africa’s Leading Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Event Organisers Since 2015
Bitcoin Events was founded by Sonya Kuhnel and Theo Sauls in 2014. They are both early adopters of bitcoin and are extremely passionate about the future of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. Sonya and Theo saw a need to educate and inform people about the opportunities offered by digital currencies and blockchain technology. In 2015, Bitcoin Events started the Blockchain Africa Conferences to address this need.
Bitcoin Events is the first events company to host world-class bitcoin and blockchain conferences in Africa. To date, we’ve hosted seven highly successful Blockchain Africa Conferences in Cape Town and Johannesburg, and most recently online. Bitcoin Events is also host of the annual Crypto Fest and DeFi Conferences.
Over 12,000 attendees from over 165 countries have attended the events over the years.
