From 28 to 31 May in Rome, Blockchain Week Rome 2024 – the fifth edition of Italy's largest international offline crypto-meeting – will take place, bringing together the world's leading figures in Blockchain, Bitcoin, NFT, DeFi, and the Metaverse. It will feature four days of training, meetups, speeches, keynotes, book presentations, and panels of the highest caliber. 

28-29 May, Cinema Farnese [Piazza Campo de’ Fiori, 56]: The event kicks off with the Blockchain Inside Course: Bitcoin, Crypto, and NFT for Business, a unique educational opportunity curated by Ateneo Impresa for BWR24.

Ateneo Impresa is an independent business school that has been envisioning the future to build the present since 1990, thanks to its founder Romolo De Stefano's entrepreneurial vision, making it a leader in Italy for innovative training aimed at the Professions of the Future.

In 2018, the Ateneo Impresa Foundation promoted the creation of The Future School Srl, an innovative project and a new educational model for Schools of Advanced Specialization. One of these is The Blockchain Management School: Italy's first school of advanced specialization dedicated exclusively to Blockchain technology.

The Blockchain Inside Course: Bitcoin, Crypto, and NFT for Business for BWR24 will start with the economic history of Blockchain and cryptocurrencies. It will analyze their functionalities before exploring case studies, protocols, and delving into the architecture of the Bitcoin blockchain. A deep dive into Web3 will also include topics such as crypto trading, the use of blockchain for business, NFTs, and the Metaverse.

Experts such as Romolo De Stefano, Gian Luca Comandini, Alessandro Ghiani, Luca Bertelli, Riccardo Masutti, Cristian Palusci, Georgy Sokolov, Pierpaolo Foderà, and Sara Noggler will contribute.

30-31 May: The BWR24 course will set the stage for over 30 live speeches by the top experts of Web3, which will take place during the international summit [Main & Garden Stage at Palazzo Brancaccio – Viale del Monte Oppio, 7].

During the BWR24 summit, the Crypto Business Networking Area will be activated. Prestigious companies like Polkadot and Mesh will intervene as platinum sponsors. This presents a unique opportunity for the Italian and international crypto community to network live with top Web3 players.

Polkadot is a revolutionary project aiming to connect different blockchains, allowing them to communicate and share data securely without compromising their uniqueness. It is built to connect private and consortium chains, public and permissionless networks, oracles, and future technologies that have yet to be created.

Polkadot facilitates an internet where independent blockchains can exchange information and transactions reliably through its relay chain. With its technology, Polkadot not only accelerates the innovation process but also sets a new standard for interoperability between networks.

Mesh, founded in 2020, aims to build an open, connected, and secure financial ecosystem. As a modern financial operating system, Mesh enables the transfer of digital assets, cryptocurrency payments, account aggregation, and trading within a unified platform.
