In fact, more blockchain events are happening globally this year than ever before! So much so, Moralis Academy has collated a list of different blockchain conference events taking place around the world and virtually online. This includes the ever-popular Blockchain Expo World Series events taking place in different parts of the globe.
Thus, in this article, we are going to explore the many different blockchain events happening throughout 2022. In addition, we’ll list the different virtual blockchain conference events happening virtually online. Also, we’ll dive deep into the Blockchain Expo World Series.

Cryptocurrency and Blockchain Events 2022
Over the past few years, a vast number of cryptocurrencies have emerged. Thus, blockchain enthusiasts and crypto investors are exploring ways to connect. As a result, numerous blockchain events are happening worldwide. Moreover, the continuous development of the efficiency of blockchain is increasing its potential use case across a wide range of industries. Consequently, more and more blockchain events are arising for networking and collaborative opportunities. Also, some places host multiple blockchain conference events simultaneously that are incredibly niche and specific within one particular sector.
Therefore, Moralis Academy has finalized a comprehensive list of different blockchain events in 2022. We believe that this list of events will become highly beneficial for those looking to attend a blockchain event this year. However, be aware that some of these blockchain conference events are only available as virtual events online. Others, however, offer a hybrid approach. They do so by combining physical exhibitions with virtual shows and online community networking sessions.
Below, you’ll see that our list is organized in sections by month. Also, you might notice that some events are combined. Thus, pay close attention to each event name. Especially if you are looking for a particular blockchain event. Moreover, this is a list of events that we’ve researched. However, please note that the list might not contain all of this year’s events.

From looking at all of these events we’ve seen so far, you might be wondering if the metaverse will be discussed on any of these events. As such, if you’d like a quick guide on what the metaverse is, be sure to read our “What is the Metaverse?” article. By doing so, you’ll dive deep into this virtual land known as “the metaverse”. We realize that Facebook’s rebranding to Meta probably increased the interest in the metaverse. However, the term “metaverse” has actually been around for some time. In addition, it has been featured in books, movies, and games. But, these depictions differ from our reality. Thus, what does the “metaverse concept” entail concerning our situation?

Further, each event is conveniently located with other events surrounding cutting-edge technologies. This includes the likes of the Cyber Security & Cloud Expo, and the AI & Big Data Expo. In addition, it includes the IoT Tech Expo. Moreover, the two-day Blockchain Expo events feature over 500 exhibitors to explore and network with. Plus, the Blockchain Expo series offers more than 500 guest speakers globally. For example, you’ll have a chance to meet service providers, FinTech professionals, technical advisers, and energy companies.

As such, participants will have more than plenty of information to meditate on once the event is over.
Accordingly, discussions cover Web3 development and financial and legal services. Also, discussions will target blockchain benefits within the real estate, energy, insurance, and music industries! Blockchain Expo World Series sees a growing number of attendees over its short lifespan. Further, in 2021, the number of attendees exceeded 26,000 around the globe.
