Focus on Blockchain

ABOUT

Focus on Blockchain is an industry event committed to bring together tech driven companies, entrepreneurs, crypto and blockchain aficionados and investors to explore the wealth of opportunities that blockchain unveils, learn about its use cases and understand how they can apply technology to better the world. Participants and speakers altogether are open to share ideas and forge meaningful relationships. Everyone can reach out to everyone and we make sure that happens with the help of technology and not only. The event recreates a casual and relaxed atmosphere, with lots of engagement aside from the content that makes everyone feel good. People show up as who they really are, they come with their failures and successes, they come with their fears and challenges and go home feeling something had changed and they are part of the change. We hear you and we want everybody to hear you: live feedback is welcome and encouraged, this way speakers become better and we do our jobs better at serving you.

    REALTY FORUM

    About

    Now at its 17th edition, Business Review's Realty Forum has grown alongside the local property market to become the leading Romanian real estate event. This June, we bring together developers, investors and consultants, to see whether success breeds success for local real estate players in 2018, as the market continues to build on the positive results seen in the last couple of years.

    One thing is for sure, Bucharest has already grown to compete with other regional capitals. However, numerous Romanian cities are also increasingly more present on the real estate investors’ map. Consequently, this year we will focus not only on the office, residential, commercial and industrial markets in Bucharest, but also on those in Timișoara, Cluj-Napoca, Iași and Brașov to see what makes them so attractive to investors and what it means for the market overall.
