Blockland Solutions

What Blockland Solutions does

Blockland Solutions is a Cleveland, Ohio-based private events company that organizes an annual technology conference focused on blockchain, cybersecurity, and emerging technologies. Founded in 2018 and operating with 1-10 employees, the company convenes business and government leaders, mid-to-senior-level developers, startups, educators, and students for educational keynotes, hands-on workshops, and networking. The program is structured around industry tracks in finance, healthcare, manufacturing, commercial, legal, government, and education, plus a dedicated cybersecurity day (the Security Solutions track, formerly BusinessTECH). The 2019 edition featured 150+ speakers including the CEO of Google Cloud, an SEC Commissioner, the Salesforce CIO, the co-founder of the Blockchain Research Institute, and the inventor of smart contracts.

The company's core 'product' is the annual conference event itself rather than a software or SaaS platform. Supporting technology is limited to a dedicated iOS and Android conference mobile app (delivered via the Bizzabo event platform) for attendee engagement, agenda access, speaker information, and networking, plus a standard multi-channel social presence (Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube) and a professional photography archive. The company does not develop proprietary technology beyond the event IP and has no disclosed AI, API, SDK, or integration surface.

Blockland Solutions monetizes through two streams: attendee ticket registrations and corporate sponsorships. The 2019 conference had KeyBank and MCPc as Title Sponsors, with MCPc also presenting the Security Solutions track. The 2018 inaugural conference sold out, and prior attendees reported 100% recommendation rates, suggesting brand traction. The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding rounds and no parent company, operating as an independent privately-held entity serving a primarily North American (with stated global draw) audience of technology-curious executives, developers, and startups.

Direct peers

• Token2049: Token2049 is a leading global crypto and Web3 conference series held in Dubai and Singapore, focused on enterprise blockchain adoption, sponsorships, and high-profile speakers — directly comparable to Blockland's enterprise/emerging-tech event model.
• ETHDenver: ETHDenver is a major annual blockchain builder-focused conference and hackathon that combines developer training with ecosystem networking. It overlaps directly with Blockland's developer-track and emerging-tech positioning.
• Consensus by CoinDesk: Consensus is the flagship annual blockchain and emerging-technology conference, attracting thousands of attendees, hundreds of speakers, and major enterprise sponsors. It is the most direct large-scale competitor to Blockland's annual event in the same product category and target audience.
• Money 20/20: Money 20/20 is the leading annual fintech and payments conference, with strong overlap to Blockland's finance-industry blockchain track in audience (financial executives, sponsors like KeyBank) and content.
• Devcon by Ethereum Foundation: Devcon is the Ethereum Foundation's flagship annual conference for developers and ecosystem participants. It overlaps with Blockland's developer and emerging-technology focus, particularly around blockchain education and workshops.

Broad incumbents

• RSA Conference: RSA Conference is the largest annual cybersecurity industry event, drawing tens of thousands of attendees and major enterprise sponsors. Blockland's dedicated cybersecurity track (presented by MCPc) competes for share of mind and sponsorship dollars in this adjacent cybersecurity audience.
• Web Summit: Web Summit is one of the largest global technology conferences, covering emerging technologies including blockchain. It operates at much greater scale than Blockland and competes for similar enterprise attendees and sponsors but spans a much broader tech agenda.
• Black Hat: Black Hat is a leading cybersecurity conference series featuring technical trainings and briefings. Blockland's cybersecurity day track is comparable in audience and sponsor base, though Black Hat operates at far greater scale and frequency.
• Collision Conference: Collision is a major North American technology conference covering emerging technologies, including blockchain and Web3. It competes with Blockland for emerging-tech attendees and sponsors but at significantly larger scale.

Others

• Bizzabo: Bizzabo is the event-management platform that Blockland Solutions uses to power registration, ticketing, and the mobile app. It is an ecosystem enabler/infrastructure provider rather than a competing event, making it a directly relevant partner for comparison.
