Madrid Becomes the Web3 Epicenter

This October, the Spanish capital will become the epicenter of the Web3 universe with the celebration of Merge Madrid.

The event seeks to consolidate bridges between Europe and Latin America in the blockchain field. It promises to be the meeting point for visionaries, developers, and blockchain companies shaping the digital future.

Featuring more than 200 world-renowned speakers, including leaders in the technology industry, executives from global financial institutions, and entrepreneurs who are transforming the digital asset space, fashion, entertainment, and finance as we know it – Merge Madrid is set to become a pivotal meeting point for Web3 professionals.

Merging Web2 and Web3

Leading figures from the Web2 ecosystem, such as Adidas, Lacoste, Microsoft, Santander, Telefonica, and Visa, will converge with native Web3 sector professionals, such as Animoca Brands, MetaMask, Polygon, DYDX, and some of the world's leading DeFi protocols.

Merge Madrid will take place at two iconic venues: the Círculo de Bellas Artes and La Nave. Founded in 1880, the Círculo de Bellas Artes (CBA) is a vibrant cultural hub in Madrid, known for its dynamic programs and its iconic building, declared a Bien de Interés Cultural in 1981.

La Nave is a public space in Madrid dedicated to learning, networking, and collaboration in innovation and technology. It offers free events, programs, and workspaces to support and accelerate startups and innovative projects.

Thematic Panels and Immersive Experiences

The event will offer panels on topics ranging from the impact of Artificial Intelligence to exhibitions combining AI, NFTs, and traditional art. These panels are designed to facilitate dialogue about tomorrow's economy.

Could an AI be the next big DJ? How will emerging technologies interact with classic artistic expressions? These are just some questions that will be addressed in an environment supercharged with innovation and creativity.

"Merge Madrid is not just a place to observe, but to experience and be part of the conversation that defines what the Internet will be in the future."

A Full Agenda for Attendees

Merge Madrid will open its doors to welcome more than 3,000 attendees. Visitors will have the privilege of immersing themselves in 7,000 square meters of technology exhibits, reveling in art that defies perception, and vibrating to concerts that project the future of music.

In addition, attendees will be able to immerse themselves in experiences that will give them a glimpse into the future of digital technology, from quantum computing to artificial intelligence applied to blockchain.
