The recent Hive Tech Conference was impactful to many students, especially those on the KNUST campus, who received knowledge about Web3 and its diverse benefits. For some of them, it was their first time learning about Web3 and Hive. While the conference served as a forum to raise awareness about Hive, it also empowered everyone who attended. As the saying goes, knowledge is key to success, and we believe the conference provided students with the knowledge they need to achieve financial success. With the knowledge received, they can leverage technology like Web3 to discover ways to improve their lives.
This conference is helping to create awareness about Web3 in Ghana and beyond, thanks to the diverse media used to share information. Below are some of the local news networks that published about the conference. Web3 awareness is gradually growing, thanks to the various ways people have shared information about Hive. Attracting the masses to adopt Web3 may seem like a long road, but it's a sure path.

A good question was raised during the conference: Why would Hive use Web2 platforms when it claims to be superior to Web2? The speakers addressed this well. Based on their response, transitioning from Web2 to Web3 requires widespread awareness. Therefore, it makes sense to use Web2 platforms to promote Web3. I suppose there's nothing wrong with this; it's simply a good marketing strategy. Hive would indeed benefit from services where users can get the latest news, see ads, and more.
This could keep them informed about what's happening in world of tech and could attract the majority. Even though Hive has built a lot that many people would find fascinating and beneficial, I believe more awareness creation is crucial. Talking about awareness creation, the efforts to publicize Hive can be further amplified through social media and online news networks, where people go to see the latest news.
This is why we incorporate these networks. We are glad to announce that, through these efforts, Valley View University Ghana has reached out to host a similar conference on their campus. This is a great development that we believe will empower many with Hive knowledge and bring new users on board over time.
Talking about mass adoption is important, but it won't happen just by discussing it on Hive. We need to take steps to keep the general public informed. I'm glad that those who attended the conference and had no prior knowledge about Web3 were exposed to the network, a good step towards bringing onbaord new users.
