Charles Hoskinson is a definite drawing card for any blockchain industry event. Bitcoin Events is
therefore very excited to have the Founder of Cardano, and the Founder and CEO of Input
Output Hong Kong (IOHK), return to the Blockchain Africa Conference as a Keynote Speaker.
Charles will be discussing IOHK’s projects using the Cardano blockchain on the African
continent. He has previously spoken about the enormous opportunities for blockchain
technology implementation in Africa, and IOHK’s partnerships with several African governments
to onboard students and citizens onto the Cardano platform for a real-world blockchain
implementation.
Charles has supported and funded blockchain research labs worldwide, including the University
of Edinburgh, Tokyo Institute of Technology and the University of Wyoming. He has a profound
commitment to the industry and has been instrumental in changing people’s perceptions about
cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.
Bitcoin Events’ flagship event, Blockchain Africa Conference 2022, is scheduled to take place
virtually in less than 3 days, on 17-18 March 2022. The conference will be the 8th in the highly
acclaimed series and is expected to assemble 2 000+ attendees from 50+ countries, including
investors, start-ups, enthusiasts, developers, corporations, policymakers and regulators.
The Blockchain Africa Conference 2022 (BAC2022) will be focusing on the opportunities and
use cases that blockchain technology presents to both Africa and the rest of the world. Over the
years, the conference themes have evolved and aligned with the global adoption of blockchain
technology: ‘Moving Africa Forward’, ‘Beyond the Hype’, ‘From Hype to Mainstream’, and now
‘Ready for Business?’
Discussions at the conference will include:
● What is the state of blockchain technology in enterprise adoption, and what’s next?
● How is blockchain technology unlocking the value of livestock in Africa?
● Are cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology the next generation of cross-border
payments in Africa?
● What is the value of self-sovereign identity to organizations and citizens in a South
African context?
● Smart contracts can redefine business and are one of the biggest reasons people are
excited about blockchain technology and investing in cryptocurrency. Which
smart-contract platforms are ahead of the rest, and why?
● What opportunities exist, and how can blockchain-based gaming be used as a tool for
empowerment in Africa?
● In an uncertain regulatory environment, a staggering $32.8 billion was invested into
crypto and blockchain technology businesses in 2021. Is this set to continue, and what
type of businesses are gaining traction?
● Nigeria recently became the first African country to launch a Central Bank Digital
Currency (CBDC), the eNaira. What does the future look like for CBDCs on the
continent?
● Regulation and compliance: What type of digital asset regulation do we see globally, and
what is the impact of regulation on the industry?
