Gdańsk, Poland, April 2nd, 2026, Chainwire

Kanga Exchange is participating in the UN:BLOCK blockchain and fintech conference in Riga, taking place on April 1–2, 2026. A day before the official start of the event, on March 31, Kanga hosted a closed, invitation-only Kanga VIP Cocktail Reception, creating space for discussions and relationship-building in a more informal setting.

The gathering brought together representatives of public institutions, regulators, legal and compliance experts, as well as founders, investors, and companies operating in the blockchain and fintech sectors.

The program included a short presentation by the Kanga team, an update on plans related to the Latvian market, and a networking session in the form of a cocktail reception.

The cryptocurrency market has long operated in cycles, with periods of rapid growth followed by downturns. Alongside these fluctuations, questions about the real level of interest in blockchain technology regularly reappear.

Despite changing market sentiment, one thing remains constant – the activity of the community. This is reflected not only in the development of projects and the growing number of users, but also in the scale of industry events taking place worldwide.

Strong and Sustained Interest in Offline Events

Today, more than 400 Web3 and cryptocurrency conferences and events take place annually across six continents. The largest of them attract tens of thousands of participants. The Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas gathers over 35,000 attendees, Consensus in Miami around 20,000, and Token2049 in Asia up to 25,000 participants.

Europe remains one of the most active regions for blockchain-related events. Each year, dozens of conferences are held across the continent, ranging from large international gatherings to local community meetups.

Among the most notable are Paris Blockchain Week, the European Blockchain Convention in Barcelona, ETHCC in Cannes, and Next Block Expo in Warsaw.

Why Offline Still Matters in a Digital-First Industry

Blockchain technology was created and operates in a digital environment, yet relationships within the industry are still built in person.

Conferences provide opportunities for face-to-face interaction, which remains one of the key elements of the market. They create space for conversations, asking questions, and evaluating projects not only based on online materials, but also through direct contact with the people behind them.

As Sławek Zawadzki, Co-CEO of Kanga Exchange, explains: “Cryptocurrency technology was created in the digital world, but trust is still built between people. Face-to-face meetings make it easier to understand the technology and get to know the people behind the projects.”
The importance of such events goes beyond project presentations. They bring together both experts and users and enable:

building relationships and trust within the industry,
educating new market participants,
developing cooperation between companies,
exchanging knowledge and experience.
As Sławek Zawadzki adds: “The cryptocurrency market has always gone through cycles. But communities are built by people who stay in the industry regardless of whether we are in a bull or bear market.”
UN:BLOCK – Riga on the Industry Map

UN:BLOCK is one of the key blockchain and fintech events in Northern Europe. This year’s edition is bringing together around 2,500 participants from across Europe and beyond.

The conference features over 100 speakers, including representatives of global companies and public institutions responsible for market regulation.

The agenda is divided into two main tracks:

blockchain technology development,
fintech and traditional financial services.
The Role of Industry Events

Conferences like UN:BLOCK demonstrate that the development of the cryptocurrency market is driven not only by technology, but also by relationships between people and companies.

It is during such events that meetings take place which often lead to new projects, partnerships, and directions for the industry.

As Sławek Zawadzki highlights: “Conferences are an important part of this ecosystem – they enable knowledge exchange, relationship building, and project development.”
For this reason, offline events remain one of the key pillars of the Web3 industry, regardless of current market conditions.
