The Open Summit: Spearheading Asia’s Web3 Revolution as TON’s Flagship Event This Summer

The TON community has announced its biggest event for this summer: Open Summit, which will be held in Taipei, Taiwan.

The event will be held at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center TaiNEX2 from 6-8 August 2024 as part of ABS2024. Open Summit, which is set to be a landmark event, is powered by TONX and supported by the global TON community.

This year’s event, themed “TON Summer,” will be a time for making major announcements for the TON community. Commenting on the upcoming event, Dr. Awesome Doge, Co-Founder of TONX, said:

“The Open Summit is designed to empower the Web3 community with the connections necessary to successfully build on Telegram and TON. The Open Summit is the place for developers, investors, and entrepreneurs who do not want to miss out on the latest in the TON community.” 

Attendees can expect to hear and learn from a spectacular lineup of speakers on the latest developments in the TON ecosystem, including Steve Yun, President of the TON Foundation; David Mak, CEO of Catizen; Dr. Awesome Doge, co-founder of TONX; Caesar, co-founder of Yescoin; TM Lee, CEO and co-founder of CoinGecko; Nolan, CEO and founder of QuackQuack; and other leaders in the TON community. 

They will also get to attend sessions that provide practical knowledge and tools to harness the Telegram-TON synergy for their projects. Additionally, they will learn how to create Mini Apps and marketing tools to leverage Telegram’s expansive user base.

Taipei is the perfect location for this event because of the APAC region’s vibrant TON and Telegram community. Telegram has 950 million users, making it a fertile ground for crypto adoption—no wonder it has been referred to as crypto’s adoption machine.

Despite its already soaring popularity over the years, the company launched its ad revenue-sharing program for channel owners, which further boosted activity on TON and created new opportunities for builders to engage with the rapidly growing ecosystem.
