Basics of Using the Directory
No, we are a private, independent resource and networking directory dedicated to the local blockchain community. We do not represent any government agency or financial institution, though we do list events that may feature their representatives. Our goal is to provide a neutral and comprehensive view of the local ecosystem.
We maintain editorial independence from the events we list. That means we can include meetups run by blockchain startups, university societies, professional associations, and industry bodies without endorsing any particular project or token. If an event is relevant to the Sydney scene and meets our basic quality checks, it belongs on the calendar.
For Attendees and Community Members
We categorise events by their focus — Technical, Investor, or Beginner — to help you choose the right ones. Many listings also include a brief agenda or speaker bio that provides more context on the expected depth of the discussion. If you're unsure, we recommend starting with a community-led meetup, which is generally more accessible for newcomers.
Technical events tend to dive into protocol-level architecture, consensus mechanisms, or smart contract development. Investor-focused sessions cover market analysis, token economics, and portfolio strategy. Beginner events walk through wallet setup, exchange basics, and foundational blockchain concepts. When a listing crosses categories, we tag it with the primary focus first.
For events at large venues like the International Convention Centre, check the listing for prerequisites or recommended reading. Some conferences run parallel tracks at different levels, so you can move between rooms based on your comfort.
For Event Organisers and Venues
We offer free basic listings for all community-focused and professional blockchain events in Sydney. For organisers seeking additional visibility, we offer premium "featured" listings and promotion across our social channels for a fee. Our primary goal is to ensure all high-quality local events are visible to the community, regardless of budget.
A free listing includes the event title, date, venue, short description, and a link to the organiser's registration page. Featured listings add a prominent position at the top of the calendar, an expanded description, speaker highlights, and placement in our weekly digest. Pricing for featured placement depends on the event's duration and category.
To submit an event, use the listing form linked from the organiser resources page. We review submissions within two business days and may request additional details before publishing.
Regulatory and Legal Concerns
While we vet events for quality and professionalism, we are not a regulatory body and cannot guarantee the legal compliance of every third-party event. We strongly advise attendees to exercise their own due diligence, especially regarding investment advice or financial products. We prioritise listings from established organisations that demonstrate a commitment to Australian regulatory standards.
In Australia, digital asset activities fall under the purview of AUSTRAC for anti-money-laundering purposes and ASIC for financial product regulation. Event organisers are responsible for ensuring their events comply with relevant laws, including consumer protection and financial licensing requirements. We do not provide legal advice, and nothing on this site should be interpreted as an endorsement of any token, project, or investment strategy.
If you encounter a listing that raises concerns — misleading claims, unsolicited investment advice, or suspicious payment requests — please contact us so we can review it promptly.
Technical and Site Features
Yes, each event listing includes an "Add to Calendar" button that supports all major calendar applications. This allows you to stay updated on changes and receive reminders for the events you plan to attend. We also offer a subscription service for regular updates on new event additions.
The calendar export generates a standard ICS file, which works with Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, and most other calendar apps. When you subscribe, new events appear in your calendar automatically — you don't need to check the site manually. If an organiser changes a venue or time, we update the listing, and your calendar reflects the change on the next sync.
Participation and Community Growth
The ecosystem needs a wide range of skills, including marketing, legal expertise, community management, and design. Attending meetups and offering your specific skills to local projects is a great way to start. Many of the events we list are specifically looking for volunteers or collaborators from diverse professional backgrounds.
Sydney's blockchain scene includes registered Aussie projects that need help with content writing, compliance documentation, graphic design, event logistics, and social media. If you have experience in finance, law, journalism, or product management, your perspective is valuable — the technology only works when people can understand and trust it.
A practical first step: attend a community meetup, introduce yourself to the organiser, and mention what you do. Most organisers are happy to connect skilled volunteers with projects that need them.
Sponsorship and Advertising
We offer targeted sponsorship opportunities for companies that provide relevant services to the blockchain and tech community. This includes venue highlights, service provider directory listings, and newsletter sponsorships. We are very selective about our sponsors to ensure they provide genuine value to our users and align with our community values.
Sponsorship is not banner advertising. We do not run pop-ups, autoplay video, or intrusive display ads. Instead, sponsors appear as clearly labelled partners within relevant context — a venue sponsor on the venue guide, a legal firm on regulatory content, an exchange on the events calendar. Every sponsor relationship is disclosed transparently on the page where it appears.
If your company serves the Australian blockchain ecosystem and you'd like to discuss partnership, reach out to our team with a brief description of what you do and who you serve.
Security and Privacy Information
When you click an RSVP link, you are usually redirected to the organiser's chosen platform (like Eventbrite or Meetup), and your data is handled according to their privacy policy. For any data collected directly on our site, we adhere to strict privacy standards as detailed in our Privacy Policy. We do not sell user data to third parties.
We collect minimal information — typically just an email address if you subscribe to event updates. We use it to send you the notifications you asked for, and nothing else. We do not track your browsing behaviour across third-party sites, and we do not share your email with event organisers unless you complete a registration on their platform directly.
For the full details on what we collect, how long we keep it, and how to request deletion, read our Privacy Policy.
