RE: Blockchain Unbound Experience (Puerto Rico, Mar 2018)
"With such a high price tag it’s kinda obvious that the local population and startup scene won’t be able to participate"
Conferences, especially blockchain ones, need to start lowering their price tags. Blockchain is about financial inclusion, not exclusion. I'm not sayint tickets need to be free, but that the local community should be able to participate in the conversation.
I completely agree. Right now most of the price tags for the conferences are stellar. Promotional rates are restricted to highly-funded startups, established corporations, and hedge funds. I feel that with more competition and awareness from the community the markets will become more accessible.
Still, the main networking floor at the Blockchain Unbound was free and open for anyone interested to sneak in and get their networking game going.
