Tried twice but still failed to get a photo with the industry bigwigs—too many people at the Hong Kong event, and things didn’t work out in Dubai either. But after stumbling a couple of times, I finally figured out how things work.

First, ask the event organizers for an entry pass—basic move. Check the exact schedule in advance, and arrive half an hour early with a small stool to secure a spot. The key is to prepare an eye-catching support sign—something like “Loyal Fan”—so the staff won’t mistake you for a scalper and kick you out.

Scout out the camera spot ahead of time. Either bring a friend to help snap photos or bring a tripod to do it yourself. Take several shots from different angles and save them—you can use the material again next time in another country.

Finally, touch up the photos and post them on social media. That’s how crypto events work.
