How to Get the Most Out of a Crypto Meetup

To get the most out of a meetup, conference, come prepared. Have business cards or your LinkedIn QR code on hand. Know what you want to learn and who you want to meet.

At the same time, keep your agenda flexible. The joy of person-person meetings comes from unexpected connections and hallway conversations. Let the magic happen. The rule of thumb is: to make it a goal to meet at least three new people.

How to Meet With Cryptocurrency Investors Around You
Cryptocurrency meetups are social gatherings that give you the avenue to know about the latest developments in the blockchain sector, connect with people of like minds, and chat with possible cryptocurrency and blockchain professionals.

How to Meet Cryptocurrency Enthusiasts in Your Environment
In all startup industries, there is a period when people are just learning about the industry and its product (crypto). One of the greatest obstacles preventing the global adoption of crypto may be knowledge. One good way of increasing one’s knowledge about crypto is by meeting investors in the crypto industry in person. One can meet these people either virtually or face to face. In recent years, virtual meetings have become more popular. Getting together through Zoom can help someone connect with others even from the comfort of their desk. However, to connect with people, it is better to meet them in person, the result is worth the trouble.

Finding Events Via Meetups
Investors usually use networking tools like Meetup.com to link up with other investors. One can create an account on this platform and then search for cryptocurrency groups within a 50-mile radius or more of where he or she lives. One can look for a strong group on Meetup, by searching for “blockchain” or “crypto,” and then look at how many times they have met. Some groups are growing, while others have gradually gone extinct.

Participating in Cryptocurrency Conferences
As the cryptocurrency sector expands, so do the cryptocurrency conferences. Most of these conferences do feature some popular investors and people in the industry. Here are some websites that provide information on upcoming bitcoin conferences, and they are listed below.
