On June 5th, 60 speakers and over 600 people gathered at the first-ever blockchain and cryptocurrency conference in Seattle, WA. With industry leaders from all over the country sharing their vision of decentralized technology, the capital of the Pacific Northwest is proving to be a hub for blockchain innovation.
The Blockchain NW conference organized by growth marketer and blockchain influencer, Justin Wu, assembled several significant and exciting blockchain projects of the Seattle region and beyond.
The nascent blockchain environment is constantly changing, and emerging blockchain projects are eager to cooperate beyond the individual enterprise to build prime technology for the world.
With Seattle's infamy as home to headquarters of tech giants like Microsoft, Amazon, and Tableau, it was only a matter of time for the city to foster the rapidly expanding blockchain industry.
As a community looking to disrupt industries through blockchain technology, Seattle is becoming home to projects with diverse, real-world applications.
"It's very diverse from fintech to venture capitalists. Seattle covers a lot of the sectors within the blockchain space It's a lot more enterprise-focused than what I see in the crypto scene."
Still in its early stages, the blockchain industry is growing to become a global force for change, and the community behind it has become unified under that common goal.
The collective productivity of blockchain projects in Seattle continues to attract talent from around the world, putting the tech capital of the Northwest in prime position for growth.
"There's a lot of talent a lot of great programmers/developers and a lot of capital in both cities too. I think as more major companies like Amazon, Microsoft, and Boeing, for example, start integrating blockchain into their existing infrastructure they're going to need more blockchain service providers I think it's going to be great in the long term."
Blockchain NW revealed Seattle to the world as a fresh hub for blockchain development, and with new, unique projects coming to fruition, the tech capital of the Pacific Northwest will surely uphold its title.
