London Blockchain Conference

What London Blockchain Conference does

London Blockchain Conference is an annual enterprise blockchain and Web3 conference held at Evolution London, organized by Lightning Sharks Ltd., a privately held UK company incorporated in England and Wales. The event operates an event-driven go-to-market model across in-person attendance, a virtual streaming platform, and post-event on-demand content, drawing 5,000+ in-person attendees and 2,000+ virtual users at the 2025 edition. The program centers on practical enterprise blockchain applications across trust and provenance, tokenised finance, AI-blockchain integration, digital government, cyber resilience, and regulatory standards, with a speaker roster that includes executives from Boston Consulting Group, Google, FICO, Bank of England, JPMorgan, and VeChain alongside founders and policymakers.

Revenue is generated through two primary streams: tiered ticket sales (early-bird, networking, two-day delegate passes sold via online registration and on-site venue sales, with group discounts applying at a minimum of three tickets) and multi-tier sponsorship packages ranging from flagship slots (BCG, Clifford Chance) through technology sponsorships (Hedera, Fireblocks, VeChain, R3, Tezos, TRM Labs, Hashgraph Group, Tokenovate) to logo-display brand partnerships (JPMorgan, PayPal, Bank of England, BNP Paribas, NHS, FedEx, Emirates). The customer base is segmented across enterprise leaders, government and policymakers, blockchain/Web3 practitioners, and investors/VCs, with a particular emphasis on banking, financial services, and regulatory audiences. The company also maintains CPD accreditation for content delivered at the conference. No external venture capital is disclosed beyond a single 2023 funding round from Ayre Group, and no parent company, subsidiaries, or acquisitions are identified in the source data.
