What are digital assets?
The future of digital assets is set to redefine value in the digital realm. Domain names and websites are now valuable digital real estate, and digital content expands the ever-growing creator economy.
Most people invest mainly in real- estate or internet business stocks. But do you know that the famous YouTuber MrBeast said he received an offer of $1 billion to take over his content empire, including his main YouTube channel, which has over 100 million subscribers, but turned it down?
In today’s digital economy, it’s possible to make a fortune by investing in domain names, websites, audiences, newsletters, and even open-source plugins.

Why Should You Attend DAC?
Attending the Digital Asset Congress is a prime opportunity to meet digital creators and investors to network, share innovative ideas, and discover new paths in the digital creator economy.
Check below a couple of reasons why you should attend the Digital Asset Congress:
Networking opportunities
Jason said the heart of the Digital Asset Congress will be a Networking Creator Lab, where creativity and commerce will intersect, fostering a lively exchange of ideas and inspiration.
The Digital Asset Congress redefines the norm with electrifying fireside chats and innovative roundtable discussions. During custom-tailored excursions, participants are surrounded by Iceland’s breathtaking scenery.
I’ve often said how important networking is and how you can meet, exchange ideas, and do business with business people who think alike. At DAC, you can meet decision-makers, investors, and creators who can scale up your business ten times.
Conference speeches
Besides the networking opportunities, you should also consider speeches, as many veterans will share insides and actionable information from multi-million businesses that have thrived over the years.
Also, you can ask questions at round tables and get detailed answers that will help you implement your ideas. Big worldwide conferences are beautiful for networking opportunities or parties, but conferences like DAC are where this happens when sharing sensitive insights.
Visiting Reykjavík, Iceland
The Digital Asset Congress has chosen Iceland as its prime location for this year’s event, and for good reason.
Strategically positioned between North America and Europe, Iceland is a central hub, facilitating easy and cost-effective travel for attendees from both continents.
Besides the geographically advantageous location of Iceland, it is one of the most beautiful locations on earth, which you should visit if you haven’t done so already. The deal is even sweeter as you will also learn and do business with people thinking alike.

Guide: How to make the most of your presence
Here are five tips I learned by going to many digital marketing conferences. I suggest checking them and applying if you want to make the most of your presence at the Bucharest Summit:
- Set the goals you want to reach. Do you want to network, learn, establish new partnerships, or meet existing partners? Ensure you have a goal or two to focus on achieving them.
- Plan your essential meetings. The app allows you to see the list of attendees, speakers, and exhibitors and contact them to schedule an appointment. Sometimes, things can get chaotic during the conference, so you will miss a lot if you don’t arrange the meetings.
- Be cheerful and willing to learn. Attitude is always critical and can make a vast difference in outcomes. I recommend you be positive, glad to meet new people, and ready to find out more and learn new things.
- Select which tracks are essential and which you want to use. As the list of tracks is available, you can select the ones you want to participate in. If more people are on your team, you can choose which goes where to cover as much as possible.
- Follow up soon. It’s essential to start the follow-ups a few days after the event. Otherwise, people will need to remember who you are or will engage in other partnerships. Please make sure you begin follow-up early to maximize outcomes.
Conclusion
Overall, the Digital Asset Congress is NOT just another conference but a cornerstone hub of the digital asset economy. It brings together industry leaders and newcomers, offering a platform for innovation, learning, and growth.
As a media partner and a speaker at the conference, I invite you to attend DAC in Reykjavík, Iceland, from September 23 to 25, 2024. Let’s seize this opportunity to connect, collaborate, and pave the way for a brighter future.
