At the “Block-chain Seoul 2018 -- B7 Summit” to be held on August 18, officials from seven blockchain cities will discuss ways to foster blockchain technology and regulatory issues.

Participants include Cecilia Muller Chen, director of the Swiss Crypto Valley Association, and Asse Sauga, president of the Estonian Cryptocurrency Association, and officials from Lithuania and Malta.
The “Blockchain Expo” will showcase blockchain projects being promoted by companies, governments, and local governments. The expo will consist of a registration area where visitor can make Etherium wallets, a blockchain app experience zone, and a blockchain-based smart government experience zone. Participants can receive free blockchain tokens from each booth through the Etherium wallets created at the venue. This will encourage interest and participation in blockchain projects.
In addition, various other events such as a job fair for blockchain companies, blockchain hackathon, blockchain legal counseling, and project meet-ups are held.
