Dunamu, the firm that operates the South Korean exchange Upbit, launched its annual Upbit Developer Conference (UDC) on Sept. 1.

The conference will be streamed live on UDC's YouTube channel until Sept. 2.

Dunamu chairman Song Chi-hyung kicked off the event with his opening address.

"Since launching in September 2018, UDC has set itself apart from other blockchain conferences by gathering developers that make a real difference in the industry, organizing a variety of speakers into different sessions," Song said.

This year's conference will host speeches from the likes of Jeong Soon-hyeong, CEO of Onther; Muneeb Ali, co-founder and CEO of Stacks; Leemon Baird, chief scientist and co-founder of Hedera Hashgraph; and Cuy Sheffield, head of crypto at Visa. 

Song added that between 2018 and 2020, UDC has attracted over 7,100 attendees and over 600 participating companies.

2019's conference focused on blockchain going mainstream, while last year's event highlighted the rise of DeFi.

This year's UDC is titled, "Welcome to the Blockchain World."

The goal is to approach blockchain as a diverse network of different ecosystems. The conference will be broken down into the following categories: DeFi, NFTs, smart contracts, payments, enterprise solutions, and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).

"There's an African proverb that says something like, 'If you want to get far, go together.' UDC has walked side-by-side with the blockchain industry for the past three years, and the passion with which we started has not withered," Song said.

UDC 2021 articles are sponsored by Upbit.
