Throw a Hybrid Virtual/In-Person ICON Conference
World-Class Event Production Team
REIMAGINE is a semi-monthly virtual blockchain event brought to you by MouseBelt Blockchain Accelerator. Our mission is to empower newbies and veterans alike with the knowledge they need to build a decentralized future. We have successfully created a forum for education, academic, industry, and enterprise communities that serves as the industry standard for virtual blockchain events. Now, our goal is to use our platform to tell the world about the ICON network and all the community has to offer.

Notable speakers include industry leaders such as Min Kim, Roger Ver, Michael Saylor, Mark Yusko, Erik Voorhees, Sam Bankman-Fried and many more.
The Numbers:

Bringing ICON to REIMAGINE
MouseBelt P-Rep
For the last 3 events, we’ve re-invested our node earning to cover some of the costs of production and designate ICON as an official sponsor. This has allowed us to highlight the ICON community by hosting multiple contributors as guest speakers including Min Kim, Scott Smiley, Daeki Lee and Ricky Dodds. We’ve also hosted Geometry Labs, IBriz, ICONists, Project Nebula, along with a panel of speakers including Parrot9 and ICONOsphere and CTO Galen Danziger of MouseBelt.
2021 Highlights
2021 was a big year for the ICON community, with members going above and beyond to help drive further adoption of the protocol. Last year, REIMAGINE was a part of the excitement around BTP, ICON 2.0, Dapp growth and other network developments that set the tone further validating the $ICX family as a leading Layer 1 protocol.
Accelerating ICON adoption in 2022
We want to hear from you!
This is an event for ICON by ICON! If funded, our goal is to have fellow ICONists join the conversation, guiding the direction of the event and having a say on what content we highlight. Help us spread the word about the ICON community!
