Tokenize Conference
Tokenize! Conference is a blockchain and cryptocurrency investor conference series that connects investors with startup and initial coin offering opportunities. Tokenize! says its team has worked across the Caribbean, Europe, and North America since 2014, and describes the conference as a meeting place for founders, executives, investors, traders, family offices, digital-currency funds, entrepreneurs, and other blockchain-industry participants.[1][2]

The conference promotes in-person networking, contact with speakers, startup pitches, and access to potential clients, partners, and investment opportunities. It also presents early information about industry developments and an after-party as part of its networking format.[1]
Tokenize! calls itself the “longest running crypto investor conference.” Its website advertises 25 conferences, 120 exhibitors, 1,500 speakers, and 7,500 attendees as cumulative figures across its events. It lists locations including Las Vegas, San Juan, Europe, and Dubai, while its conference profile identifies San Juan and Las Vegas.[1][2]
