Feedback

Gordon Einstein

Participating in the Winter BIP 001 in Lviv, Ukraine — both as a speaker and as an attendee — was an amazing lifetime experience. The quality of the dialogue, the events, the information provided, and the social and tourist activities, were uniformly superb. Discussing the intricacies of sharding, protocol improvements, and the frontiers of FinTech, all over delicious Ukrainian food and drink — nothing can replace that.

Charles Hoskinson

It was a tremendous amount of fun and I really enjoy seeing Ukraine for the first time. Looking forward to Odessa #BIP001 7th of July.

Benjamin Bommhardt

The BIP conference had all that you possibly could wish for: excellent event locations, tremendous personalities as well as an near-perfect overall organisation.

The icing on the cake was the warm community built around it, with Lilia and Pavel constantly taking care that every member of the conference was looked after.

Lasha Antadze

BIP 001 — is not just a regular blockchain tech conference. The fusion of non-stop, 3 day prior-pre-subsequent-after-later events is what brings the participating community together, not only to keep updated with the latest projects, but to inspire and reassure that we all, are changing the world together.

Richard Wild

One of the best conferences I’ve been to. Deep conversation, no hard sell. This is what I got into bitcoin for! A+, very refreshing!

Przemysław Targosz

BIP was one of the most important trips of my life. Combining several days of brainstorming with several days of party gives amazing benefits. Friendships with crazy people who actually make blockchain businesses reality, is something priceless. It’s February and I am already packed for the next BIP. See you there!
