On November 30, 2024, in Dubai, UAE, the World Blockchain Summit, known as WBS, announced a significant rebranding to HODL, transforming the event to better represent the evolving landscape of blockchain and Web3 innovation. Since its establishment in 2017, WBS has become the most prestigious event in the blockchain domain, with a remarkable record of 29 editions held across 16 countries. The rebranding seeks to realign the summit's focus towards serious business discussions and collaborations in the blockchain ecosystem. The upcoming HODL event, which will take place in April 2025, promises to shift its focus beyond traditional blockchain topics to encompass broader technological innovations, crypto, and decentralized systems. This crucial pivot is aimed at establishing an influential platform where blockchain projects can interact with investors, enterprise leaders, and regulatory authorities, facilitating impactful collaborations designed to shape the next era of blockchain adoption. The choice of Dubai as the host city reflects its commitment to progress in blockchain technology and innovation, making it an ideal setting for such an ambitious initiative. The transition from WBS to HODL is seen as a strategic move to enhance the relevance of the event in a rapidly evolving technological landscape. As emphasized by Mohammed Saleem, Founder and Chairman of Trescon, the rebranding signifies a transformative moment in their journey, marking a departure from a traditional conference setting into a dynamic facilitator for innovation within the blockchain industry. The incorporation of discussions on enterprise and governmental collaborations highlights the summit's commitment to addressing real-world blockchain challenges and regulatory frameworks. The legacy of the World Blockchain Summit will continue as HODL aims to build on its foundation by bringing together top thought leaders, innovators, and stakeholders from various sectors through its inaugural event. This strategic effort will likely create avenues for new partnerships and growth opportunities within the burgeoning blockchain space, fostering an environment conducive to the flourishing of Web3 technologies and decentralized systems. With early registrations now open, HODL aspires to encourage engagement and participation from a wide array of professionals invested in the future of blockchain technology.
