Swiss Web3 Fest is the first-of-its-kind global Web3 conference in Switzerland that brings together innovators, investors, and creators with a focus on a different spectrum of cutting-edge technologies, including AI, Blockchain, Cryptocurrencies, Gaming, Sustainability, IoT, Metaverse, NFTs, and beyond.

The inaugural Swiss Web3 Fest, hosted from September 12th to 17th in prime locations of Zug and Zurich, gathered hundreds of people around the world, especially Switzerland’s Crypto Valley and the Middle East’s Crypto Oasis – two renowned crypto ecosystems leading the next era of the Internet.
