Breakout sessions will happen between keynotes and fireside discussion with the full overview being provided during the event.

Besides being backed by blockchain giants and expert speakers, this year's event was even more interactive. One of the other major highlights was the dedicated exhibition area. This area will give Dutch Blockchain Week partners the opportunity to connect with attendees in an open and accessible setting at De Meervaart, Amsterdam.
