On November 11, 2024, Ingonyama hosted the third edition of ZK Accelerate, a convention centered around ZK product & engineering featuring technical talks, panels, demos and exhibitor booths from leading companies.
ZKA provided an ideal platform for learning, offering direct engagement with teams and companies in the ZK space, while fostering business development and networking. With nearly 3,000 signups to participate or access event content, and roughly 800 attendees, the event showcased the growing momentum and widespread interest in ZK products and engineering.
The continuation of our ZKA conference series is a direct result of the success of previous ZK Accelerate events in Athens and Istanbul, and the positive feedback from the ZK community.
This year’s event was bigger than ever, featuring a lineup of 33 speakers across 23 talks and 2 panels, along with 22 company exhibitor booths. Below are links and attributions to each talk, panel and demo, and a breakdown of ZKAB by the numbers.
