At the ongoing Blockchain Life 2024 conference in Dubai, UAE, an unexpected problem arose when heavy floods hit the country extensively.
At the Blockchain Life 2024 conference, more than 8,000 people are expected to attend from around the world. This event is significant for those involved in Web3, cryptocurrencies, and mining. It provides a platform where industry professionals, government representatives, fund managers, investors, emerging companies, and influential crypto investors come together to connect and share insights.
Despite the city being hit hard with heavy flooding that blocked all access routes to the venue, the event organizers had no choice but to postpone the program due to their inability to manage such an unexpected crisis.
Airdrop Compensation Rumors
The organizers expressed their gratitude to attendees for their patience and understanding, and assured them that every effort was being made to make the event enjoyable and comfortable for everyone involved.
Instead of spreading, the team dispelled false reports regarding an airdrop event for participants. On their Twitter account, they cautioned followers against believing such misinformation. The message warned that fraudsters were exploiting the situation to steal money, and urged reporting of bogus accounts.

With roads becoming passable again and the weather brightening up, the Blockchain Life team notified attendees that the conference would resume on Wednesday, April 17. Travel plans could now be made accordingly.
“The roads are being slowly cleaned up, and we’ll inform you about the optimal route. A reminder that VIP attendees require an e-ticket from Platinumlist for entry, keep your wristbands on as they’re essential for accessing the VIP Lounge. Looking forward to seeing you!”
Weather specialists have explained that the recent flooding in Dubai was brought about by cloud seeding – a method involving scattering substances into clouds to artificially trigger rainfall.
TOKEN2049 Was Also Impacted by the Flooding Incidence
At TOKEN2049, a crypto conference taking place in Dubai until April 21, was temporarily postponed due to heavy flooding. The lineup of distinguished speakers in the cryptocurrency realm, including Peter McCormack, Vitalik Buterin, and Dovey Wan, were initially supposed to grace the event. However, following a weather-related halt, the organizers have reassured attendees that the conference is now set to resume. They’ve shared an optimistic five-day weather forecast for Dubai, promising sunny skies ahead.
In spite of heavy rainfall, the tenacity shown by crypto event organizers ensures that new businesses and developing projects can present their concepts to a concentrated group of prospective investors, collaborators, and consumers.
