Evolving annually, we provide global crypto communities with insightful knowledge, networking, and entertainment. This year, in addition to featuring renowned speakers and diverse sessions to share insights at the Impact conference, we are launching a Web 3-based art and music festival,” said Seonik Jeon, CEO of FactBlock.
