• Women on the Block

    Women on the Block was created by blockchain enthusiasts to promote empowerment of women to ensure diversity and inclusion in technology. Women are elevated, educated and encouraged to be involved in the emerging and disruptive blockchain industry. Our events are designed to highlight and recognize the contributions and innovations of women leaders globally.

     

    Portions of the net proceeds will be donated to support girls and women in technology. All genders are welcome and encouraged to attend!

  • "It was an honor to be able to attend this event"

    "By far the most inspiring blockchain event I've been to this year."

    "What an amazing day with amazing women."

    "I have never seen before anything like this, the most intelligent women together...thank you!"
