Saudi Arabia to host Web3 Delight in March

Web3 Delight, a Web3 focused hybrid event will take place on March 6 at Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Center in Saudi Arabia.

Web3 Delight Riyadh is the brainchild of Paul Lalovich, partner at Agile Dynamics and a founder of SyntheticEquity.io.

The series of events will string together growth markets into a broader community brought together by socializing Web3 technologies and driving adoption.

Expected to attract upwards of 3,000 people in person and online from more than 40 countries, the Riyadh edition of Web3 Delight builds upon the event’s previous outings in Abu Dhabi, UAE and Lagos, Nigeria.

Web3 Delight Riyadh is designed around the Web3 value chain. A central question to the event is ‘What does it take to generate value at each stage of the Web3 value chain?’ This aligns with Saudi Vision 2030’s ambitions to develop the kingdom’s digital infrastructure and capabilities, including investing in new technologies such as 5G, artificial intelligence, and the internet of things – as well as supporting the development of startup ecosystem.

Discussions at Web3 Delight Riyadh will focus on adopting blockchain technology, future marketing in the Web3 space, non-fungible tokens, governance policies, career opportunities in the metaverse, fundraising and building in a bear market environment.

“The arrival of Web3 Delight in Riyadh is a welcome one, which we believe will foster growth and development within the community’s technology sector. There is significant potential for Saudi Arabia to gain from an enhanced digital transformation ecosystem, which is detailed in Saudi Vision 2030, and Web3 Delight has the potential to spark growth – which is why we’re proud to partner with such an exciting event.”

Yasser N. Alobaidan, CEO at Jawraa, added: “This is the ideal time for Web3 Delight to debut in Riyadh – public and private sector entities across the kingdom are keenly adopting Web3 technologies and strategies that will have a powerful impact on the future of the country. It’s an exciting period of transformation. Events such as this, which bring together global best practices and foster a collaborative, nurturing approach towards Web3 technology development, are essential to creating a supportive, sustainable environment for tech to progress in.”
