Crypto For The Culture
2023 Crypto for the Culture Elevates Diverse Voices in Web3 and Blockchain
Spotlighting Diversity and Breaking Barriers in Web3: 3rd Annual Virtual Gathering on November 2nd, 2023
Since 2021, the innovative minds behind Crypto Tutors identified a significant gap in Web3 conferences: a startling lack of diversity. Not only were such events prohibitively expensive, ranging from $500-$10K, but they also failed to capture the full spectrum of talent and expertise in the Web3 (blockchain technology, NFTs, digital currencies, crypto, metaverse) community. Addressing this, Crypto Tutors pioneered 'Crypto For The Culture,' the premiere Web3 Diversity Conference offering unparalleled accessibility and inclusivity. This free virtual event, slated for November 2nd from 10 am - 6 pm EST, champions the trailblazing diverse thought leaders shaping the blockchain landscape and the budding enthusiasts seeking credible education.
