Around 400 guests visited the exhibition and side-event area, while nearly 900 watched the live stream. The event, organized by the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, was a resounding success, with plans already underway for a larger event in 2025.
The forum, held at the Ingolstadt Saturn Arena, attracted many first-time attendees, creating a fresh and engaged atmosphere. Speakers included notable figures such as Blocktrainer founder, journalist Niko Jilch, wallet expert Roland 'Stadicus' Stadler, and author Joe Martin, among other experts. The event was smoothly organized, informative, and notably, allowed payment with BTC via Lightning.
