Here at Essentia we believe conferences are the most efficient way to spread the word about our mission. And not only that, it’s also a great way to keep in touch with our community.

During the last few months, we have attended many events. We always enjoy hearing from the biggest names in the crypto industry, as well as introducing our own brainchild — the Essentia framework!

For this reason, we have no intention of ending our attendance and sponsorship of the biggest events in the crypto-sphere. We want you to know where and when you can meet an Essentia team member and have a chat, so here we’ve prepared a little roadshow of the events, dates and exact places.
