We also had the opportunity to give away tickets to the conference. The lucky winner seems to have loved the event.here is his return:
“Only happiness during these 3 days. A beautiful first afternoon, then a full day on Thursday with my friend who was discovering this world apart. On Friday, I only did the morning, but he did the afternoon and evening. Only positive things… speakers available after the keynotes, a kindness always present in the discussions, some good contacts for the future. I would like to win next year's draw again.”
Cryptoast also had the opportunity to interview several speakers, including Yorick de Mombynes, Bastien Teinturier CTO of Acinq, and Charles Guillemet, CTO of Ledger. These interviews will soon be available on YouTube.
Tonight, Tuesday, September 3, 2024, we will also hold a Space on the X network with Jonathan Herscovici, Sébastien Gouspillou and other speakers to debrief the conference.
