Boris Johnson Takes the Stage in Singapore for a Blockchain Bash
Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is headed to Singapore this December to fire up the International Symposium on Blockchain Advancements (ISBA). The event kicks off on Dec 2 at the InterContinental Singapore hotel, and Johnson is slated as the keynote speaker.
What the Organisers Are Saying
- ParallelChain Lab, a digital solutions firm behind ISBA, calls Johnson a “globally renowned trailblazer” in education, tech, and infrastructure.
- They claim his policies are a recipe for funding, creativity, and world‑wide innovation.
Guest Speakers
- Former U.S. Vice‑President Dick Cheney will also be on the lineup.
King‑pin Plot Twist
Johnson hasn’t been silent since he stepped down as PM. In fact, the Guardian reported he gave a 90‑minute speech at an insurance summit in Colorado on Oct 11. So, you know he’s not shying away from the mic.
First‑Time ISBA Spotlight
It’s the inaugural ISBA, pitched as a global forum covering everything from digital economies to blockchain best practices.
Singapore’s MICE Revival
The island nation’s Meetings, Incentives, Conventions, Exhibitions (MICE) sector is shaking off the pandemic slump, and experts forecast a full bounce‑back in just a couple of years.
Other Highlights
- The 2022 Formula One Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix drew record crowds.
All of this comes at a time when Hong Kong and Singapore are fighting tooth and nail to snag fintech stars for their own mega‑events.
