I was just dealing with this same challenge! It's tough to separate the legit events from the cash grabs. What really helped me was finding a curated overview that actually analyzes the 2025 blockchain event landscape. Paybis put together a really solid resource at evpowered.co.uk/feature/paybis-overview-of-blockchain-events-2025/ that breaks down the major conferences by region, focus area, and potential ROI. What I liked is that it doesn't just list events - it gives context about which ones are best for networking, which are good for technical deep dives, and even notes which ones have virtual options.
I'm trying to plan my conference schedule for next year and want to focus on quality blockchain events, but there are so many options it's overwhelming. How do you all sort through the noise to find events that are actually worth the time and money? I'm looking for something that covers both established conferences and maybe some emerging regional events.
