Australian DeFi Association
We're here to help you get a better understanding of DeFi and it's potential impact on your future.
It's only a week and a bit to go until SXSW Sydney and the excitement ramps up over here as we prepare for our own event during that week. Boss tickets maybe a bit pricey. There is a number of side events going on the community needs to be aware of as many of these are free to get into and are still part of the overall event.
First up, let's check out NSW house where yours truly will be speaking at an event on the 16th of October, alongside some other great talks in the realms of AI and emerging technology. Check out the links here
Our events on the 18th has room for sign up so you can join in on that here
There's also a whole bunch of stuff going on at the ICC and you can see more here
Also next week, check out the Stables x Algorand Technologies x Bitget event going on over at Bar Lulu - CryptoLulu in The Rocks. It's called "Is the future decentralised?" - https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/is-the-future-decentralised-tickets-731060069347

About Aus DeFi Association
The Australian DeFi Association (Aus DeFi) is a non-profit community organization dedicated to increasing education and awareness of blockchain technology, specifically decentralized finance (DeFi) and web3-based projects. Their goal is to empower the Australian community with the knowledge and tools to participate in the decentralized economy, and to promote the adoption and growth of blockchain technology in Australia.
