ABOUT RWA DAY
What is it?
Two leading RWA voices and community leaders, Travis John, founder of RWA Builders, and Tyler Sherwin, founder of RWA World, have teamed up to create RWA Day in Salt Lake City, Utah, on October 8, 2024, the perfect precursor event to Permissionless III by Blockworks.
Who's going?
This one-day event brings together a diverse group building the future of finance, including founders, fund managers, institutions, investors, regulators, and industry experts, to discuss institutionally relevant topics in digital assets and RWA tokenization.
Join representatives from Anduro by Mara, XDC, Plume Network, Propy, Chainlink, Polygon, Euler Labs, Midas, AvaLabs, Kraken, Immunefi, Zoniqx, Maple Finance, North Capital, DTCC, Zivoe, Archax, Mastercard, Anchorage Digital, VanEck, Reserve Protocol, JP Morgan, Provenance Blockchain, Accenture, Zero Hash, Bitgo, Blocksquare, T-Rowe Price, RSM US, Truebit, Certik, Plug and Play, Raze Finance, Mantra, Utila, Block Time Financial, Franklin Templeton, Fabrica, FORDEFI, Brale, Kadena, as well as asset managers, allocators, and more.
Why should you attend?
Our featured talks and roundtable sessions foster meaningful dialogue, bridging the gap between traditional and decentralized finance.
Panels have their place, but our approach prioritizes relationship building and curated conversations to maximize the value of in-person interactions. We believe that traveling across the country or the world to meet someone, build friendships, and gain trust is far more valuable than sitting through a panel discussion or a podcast.
Join us for a day of dynamic talks and tight-knit networking, where everyone’s a VIP and has the opportunity to share their insights. It’s a timely way to transform your tokenization to-do list with invaluable connections and collaborative discussions.
Whether you’re seeking new partners, funding, go-to-market momentum, or the next breakthrough, your RWA Day network will elevate your net worth. This is your chance to be at the heart of the action and selfishly benefit while shaping the future of tokenized assets and driving real-world adoption together.
