How can Web3 players efficiently participate in offline events?

In the Web3 field, the importance of offline events is becoming increasingly prominent. How to choose the right events and participate efficiently has become a topic of concern for many practitioners. This article will share some practical suggestions.

Choose Destination

Choosing the event location is the first step. The policy environment and entrepreneurial atmosphere of a city determine whether it can attract quality institutions and projects. Here are a few regions worth paying attention to:

Hong Kong ( five-star recommendation )

Hong Kong has become one of the cities with the highest concentration of Web3 activities in the world. For Chinese investors, Hong Kong is an ideal gateway to enter the international Web3 network due to its geographical, policy, cultural, and linguistic advantages.

Hong Kong's Web3-friendly atmosphere stems from a series of policy support and market vitality, such as the VASP licensing mechanism, the establishment of compliant trading platforms, and local incubators boosting Web3. In 2024, Hong Kong has hosted over a hundred Web3 events covering investment, technology, ecology, and other directions.

For investors looking to participate in the primary market, lay out global assets, and seek policy breakthroughs, Hong Kong is the most certain and densely populated core city.

Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Thailand ( four-star recommendation )

• Singapore: A crypto-friendly country with clear compliance narratives and many high-quality events.
• Japan: The government leads with strong colors, promoting compliant NFTs, blockchain games, and digital identities.
• South Korea: Technology-driven development is evident, with active blockchain gaming, ZK, and Web3 social interactions, and a mature developer ecosystem.
• Thailand: A newly emerging Web3-friendly country, rapidly developing an entertainment-oriented Web3 ecosystem, with active GameFi and NFT communities.

These regions can serve as a supplement to Hong Kong, and it is recommended to selectively participate based on your own track preferences.

United States, Middle East ( Samsung recommended )

The United States is an active hub for BTC ecosystems, AI native protocols, and top DAOs, but the entry barrier is relatively high. The Middle East (, especially Dubai ), is rapidly building Web3 infrastructure, but resources are concentrated in sovereign funds and large consortiums.

For most Chinese investors, the "Hong Kong + Southeast Asia" combination is more feasible in terms of participation difficulty, information return ratio, and language convenience.

How to Participate Efficiently

Clarify the purpose

Different identities correspond to different participation methods:

• Investors should focus on VC communication, project roadshows, Demo Days, etc.
• Those interested in overseas strategies can participate in compliance forums and small project roundtables.

Clearly defining goals allows us to filter out truly valuable activities.

Make good use of offline opportunities

Prepare business cards and social media QR codes, and actively participate in the free exchange session. A brief but trustworthy face-to-face interaction is more conducive to extending cooperative relationships than a simple online greeting.

Pay attention to Side Events, as these occasions often gather specific types of projects or investors. It is recommended to collect the activities you are interested in in advance and arrange your schedule.

reasonable expectation

Real investment connections, ecological implementation, and strategy adjustments often happen in informal settings. Maintain an open mindset and do not overly expect to "catch a big fish" at every event. Continuous participation and building a long-term networking connection is more valuable than one or two successful trades.

Note: Investment needs caution; please participate in Web3 activities under the premise of legality and compliance.
