Moreover, the firm describes the event as its initial stride towards leveraging the transformative capacity of blockchain technology, fostering innovation, generating opportunities, and shaping a brighter future for future generations. 

The goal of the Campus Roadshow was to ignite the interest of young Filipino college students in pursuing careers in web3 and broadening their horizons.

Per the media release, the event was organized by DEVCON Laguna, an affiliate of DEVCON PH or Developers Connect the Philippines, a non-profit technology organization and community for technology experts, developers, and IT enthusiasts.
