Why are crypto conferences and attending meetups important?

We know that attending conferences and meetups has been less of a priority and even possibility during the covid 19 years. However, we also know that meeting people and representatives in person, is key for developing partnerships long term. It may be an even more important part of building trust in the crypto industry, for companies and crypto profiles alike, where teams otherwise are hiding behind nick names and anonymity online.

Standing behind your carefully created project and revealing your true identities should not be a problem when working on serious crypto projects? Meeting with other key industry people from the various crypto niches all around the world, connecting with other likeminded people will not only help evolving your business but is a driver for the industry as a whole.
