The purpose was to uncover blockchain\u2019s true potential by highlighting real-world use cases, such as stablecoins, central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), <a href=\"https:\/\/coingeek.com\/unisot-makes-europe-digital-product-passport-easy-to-manage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Digital Product Passports<\/a>, and the regulations that accompany them.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Future-proofing\"><strong>Tech of Tomorrow \u2013 Poznan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Q7iOGeW7i9U?si=wV5xbjgfxklMp5zV&#038;controls=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen> title=&#8221;YouTube video player&#8221; frameborder=&#8221;0&#8243; allow=&#8221;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share&#8221; referrerpolicy=&#8221;strict-origin-when-cross-origin&#8221; allowfullscreen=&#8221;&#8221;><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This event focused on blockchain, AI, IoT, and how these technologies complement one another. <a href=\"https:\/\/coingeek.com\/how-ai-iot-and-bsv-blockchain-revolutionize-agriculture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Blockchain as a trust enabler for AI and IoT<\/a>, and innovating within regulations, were two of the biggest themes from the event\u2019s two days. I also enjoyed moderating the \u201cSecuring the Future: Enhancing Data Integrity, Security, and Transparency in the age of Blockchain, AI, and IoT innovation\u201d panel, something I hope to be doing a lot more of in 2026!<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/coingeek.com\/#Top\">Back to the top \u2191<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p id=\"Igniting\"><strong>HIPTHER\u2019s Gaming &#038; TECH Summit \u2013 Prague<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>I am a big fan of <a href=\"https:\/\/coingeek.com\/adventures-in-prague-top-5-gaming-tech-summit-highlights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HIPTHER\u2019s niche online gambling industry and tech events<\/a>; they are experts at creating an environment that feels like a reunion with a perfect mix of content, evening networking, and activities such as yoga and morning runs. This <a href=\"https:\/\/coingeek.com\/blockchain-by-hipther-meetup-covers-regulated-defi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">summit<\/a> was a real treat for me as I spoke on the \u201cKeeping the iGaming Spirit Alive\u201d panel and moderated the \u201cBlockchain Revolution: Unlocking the Potential of Web3 Across Industries\u201d and \u201cCross-Sector Collaboration: Lessons from Fintech, AI, Gaming, and Blockchain\u201d panels, all subjects I\u2019m incredibly passionate about.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/coingeek.com\/#Top\">Back to the top \u2191<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p id=\"Inside\"><strong>Triple Entry Accounting (TEA) Conference \u2013 Malta<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VbaH6MuUnWg?si=LN7zOhEA5WWaz7fP&#038;controls=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen> title=&#8221;YouTube video player&#8221; frameborder=&#8221;0&#8243; allow=&#8221;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share&#8221; referrerpolicy=&#8221;strict-origin-when-cross-origin&#8221; allowfullscreen=&#8221;&#8221;><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/coingeek.com\/tea-malta-highlights-transparent-accounting-for-the-digital-age-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TEA conference<\/a> has a special place in my heart. This two-day event runs more like an intimate roundtable with presentations and discussion covering the academic and commercial opportunities surrounding Triple Entry Accounting. A huge perk of this event is spending quality time with all the participants, including <a href=\"https:\/\/coingeek.com\/ian-grigg-on-blockchain-concepts-triple-entry-accounting-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ian Grigg<\/a>, the inventor of TEA himself. We enjoyed breakfast and lunch together daily in the conference hotel and were treated to organized evening outings each night.

For the first time ever, iGB L!VE took place in London in 2025, welcoming thousands of iGaming professionals through the ExCeL\u2019s doors. My focus at this event was on the <a href=\"https:\/\/coingeek.com\/how-startups-can-stand-out-during-a-hype-cycle-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">startup ecosystem<\/a> and how startups can utilize frontier tech in a meaningful way to stand out from all the hype.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/coingeek.com\/#Top\">Back to the top \u2191<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p id=\"Teamwork\"><strong>London Blockchain Conference \u2013 London<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/londonblockchain.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">London Blockchain Conference<\/a> is always one of <a href=\"https:\/\/coingeek.com\/top-10-moments-from-the-london-blockchain-conference-2025\/)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">my highlights of the year<\/a>; it\u2019s such a finely produced event with top speakers, makeup artists for those speakers, a beautiful expo hall, and a friendly vibe for all to enjoy. This year was extra amazing as all four of CoinGeek\u2019s on-camera reporters\u2014Kurt, Claire, Jon, and I\u2014provided live coverage throughout each day and shared a gorgeous CoinGeek studio space to interview key personalities for our video stories (coming soon\u2014stay tuned!) It\u2019s such a gift to spend quality time with my colleagues who live so far away.
