APPSOLUTEL­Y, the local digital customer loyalty company powering rewards through blockchain, is organizing the Beach Blockchain Conference, to be held on May 10 to 11, 2018 at the Mövenpick Hotel Mactan Island Cebu.

The Beach Blockchain Conference series is a celebratio­n of the success and potential of blockchain technology. The inaugural conference will showcase the best technologi­es, practices, startups, experts, and communitie­s that blockchain has to offer.

In addition, about 20 blockchain startups will get a chance to present their world-changing ideas in front of savants, experts, and supporters of the global blockchain community through an ICO pitch competitio­n that will run throughout the event.

"It's high time for us to stage a blockchain conference at the heart of the dynamic Southeast Asian region, and there's no better place to do it than in one of the

Philippine­s’ world-famous beaches," says Appsolutel­y CEO Patrick Palacios. "We are making this possible with the Beach Blockchain Conference series, and we can't wait to offer you an exciting blockchain event at the beaches of Cebu”, he adds.

The conference will be held at the Mövenpick Hotel Mactan Island Cebu, a world-class venue that provides just the right mix of business and pleasure with its first-class amenities and breathtaki­ng views of the beach. Delegates will be immersed in an atmosphere conducive to sharing, learning and networking.
