In line with the fun and creative environment, BlockDown 2020 looks to achieve, keynote speakers and sponsors will be able to share their digital memento from the conference as a live hand-drawn illustrator will be lighting up their talks in front of a live audience.
The conference was organized by Erhan Korhaliller, CEO and founder of crypto PR agency EAK Digital, as a response to the global shutdown of events sparked by the coronavirus pandemic. The objective is to keep the blockchain community networking despite billions of people around the world currently living in isolation.
