Abu Dhabi, UAE/ Working with the Fantom Foundation, the team behind the high throughput, decentralized, and secure Fantom smart-contract platform, Keynote is organizing an event for developers of all skill levels who are already building or aspire to build on the rapidly growing Fantom blockchain ecosystem.
As a renowned global centre for innovation and investment opportunity, Abu Dhabi is a fitting setting for this first annual Fantom Developer Conference. Developers, engineers, visionary leaders, founders, economic pioneers, and enterprising investors from across the world will assemble for what will be one of the most exclusive blockchain events anywhere.
“We are thrilled to host another meeting of brilliant minds in the heart of the Emirates and look forward to welcoming members of the Fantom community from around the globe. Since 2015 we have been committed to bringing more companies and dedicating more resources to the Emirates to bring their blockchain strategy and vision to life.” Moe Levin, Founder and CEO of Keynote ADGM.
“As an engineer and developer myself, I wanted to organize a conference that I would personally attend. Especially after attending events like Microsoft’s (MSFT) Professional Developer Conference (PDC), Google’s (GOOGL) Next Cloud Developer Conference, and O’Reilly’s Oscon Developer Conference, I find it alarming that there is no truly developer-focused conference in the blockchain space. With the inaugural Official Fantom Developer Conference, we will offer attendees the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in Fantom ecosystem development over five days. This conference will target developers of all skill levels. It will cover everything from building your first smart contract to more advanced topics such as scaling your decentralized applications on Opera and continuous deployment and DevOps-related tasks. On top of this, there will be events aimed at connecting people because, at the end of the day, this conference is about inclusion and improving your skill sets from Beginner to Advanced to Expert. There will be something for everyone at this event, in-person and online.” Harry Yeh, Managing Director, Quantum Fintech Group.
“At its core, Fantom is a platform built for developers to create revolutionary, easy-to-use products. To date, we’ve been able to attract thousands of active daily users and builders to a multitude of DeFi and NFT projects. We have earned acknowledgment, visibility, and recognition, but this is just the beginning. We are building a network that will continue to innovate and meaningfully impact people’s lives from now far into the future. For example, we recently announced a 370 million FTM incentive program for protocols building on our platform to foster network growth. This is the largest such program in the industry, and it illustrates our commitment to supporting developers who share our forward-looking vision. The conference is another step in this direction. By gathering visionaries, experienced developers, and aspiring builders for an immersive experience focused on ecosystem development, we seek to lay the groundwork for completely novel work. We can’t wait to see the networks and ideas that his event will generate.” Michael Kong, CEO Fantom
The program includes standalone sessions led by select industry experts, case study presentations, developer workshops, networking events, and roundtable discussions. The conference also offers a Developers track, DevOps Track, Security/Safety Track, Certification, and a bonus LIVE event giving attendees access to labs, hackathons, and break-out sessions.
Speakers include:
- Andre Cronje, DeFi Architect & Creator, Ethereum & Fantom
- Roger Ver, Founder, Bitcoin.com

Since its inception, the Fantom ecosystem has developed a reputation for collaboration, openness, and a commitment to open-source development. The events planned for Fantom DC reflect this spirit. At the conference, attendees will be able to discover new and exciting opportunities through numerous networking events, explore opportunities to collaborate in the developer community, and meet some of the great minds behind the most successful crypto and blockchain projects.
