People met IRL for the first time, swapped alpha over coffees and pints, and left with more Telegram groups than they'd ever need. Fast forward, and some of them actually built stuff. Wild, right?

Now we’re doing it again - bigger, louder, and way more London. Here’s what’s coming:

Builders meet brains. Memes meet money. 

The keynote might be fire, but the convo after in the courtyard? That’s where things spark.

We’ve got 2 days of panels, back-to-back talks, too much merch, and yes – your next cofounder might be in the crowd. All that’s missing? You.

Because this October, Zebu Live returns. New Spot. MOAR FIRE…

Some conferences have speakers, but we have SPEAKERS, all caps, and all loud… Could we be any more bullish? 

You will want to see these people speak, maybe grab a coffee after, and discuss and debate their ideas with your own. So if you haven’t already, let your eyes behold the list below:

• Sunny Lu (VeChain)

• Xen Baynham-Herd (Base)

• Humayun Sheikh (Fetch AI)

• Santiago Roel Santos (Inversion)

• Frank Chaparro (The Block)

• Lucian Mincu (MultiversX)

• Robby Yung (Animoca Brands)

• Sam Golden (RootstockLabs)

• Kurt Larsen (Rhinestone)

• Sean Kiernan (Greenage)

These names are HUGE in the space, and I can’t wait to see them all grace the stages. I just need to work out how to get their autographs…

The article wasn’t written by this intern, so take it with a pinch of salt, it’s ok… I guess… I am not jealous that I wasn’t asked to write it, not in the slightest, how dare you even think that… Moving on

YoY Growth For This Family

We’re growing year on year, and our connections run deep. 4500 of us should descend into Tobacco Dock, which is just incredible from our humble beginnings. 

Marketing wanted me to let you know that that's a 30% increase from last year, wow, big numbers but it won't mean anything unless you are there.

Well now that you will be there let’s talk about what’s on the agenda, themes that matter:

• AI in Web3: Beyond buzzwords. Think automation meets infrastructure.

• Consumer-First Crypto: Loyalty, media, social - Web3’s finally got a UI.

• Infra & Protocols: L1s, L2s, and the stuff that actually scales.

• DeFi & CeFi: From decentralised plays to compliance-ready rails.

We explore these in more detail here.

And if you want to click on a different link altogether, I’ve got the ticket link right HERE… you know, just in case you still need yours… 😉 

Get Off Your Keyboard (I see you… put it down)

Zebu is special to so many. Not because of Tobacco Dock or some of our incredible speakers, but because Zebu Live continues to be in the UK. And let’s face it there are some pretty incredible things going on in the UK regarding crypto… I’m not just referring to myself – there’s a new wave of momentum building here.

In a world where we increasingly live our lives online, it hits deeper to have face-to-face connections, even if it’s only a few times a year.

That is what makes us want to give every attendee the most memorable experience possible.

So put down that keyboard, put your phone in that unused pocket, and enjoy some “touching grass” time.

Everything below is rather important so you better read it but this is where the intern signs out. Here’s a cute meme, k love you byeeeeee

Let Zebu be a checkpoint. A reunion. A reset.

With that in mind, we have even more tickets launching aimed at:

• Students - only 300 tickets for free, you must apply via this link 

• Group discounted tickets - 3+ tickets get a 25% off

• VIP tickets - Full 2-day event access, VIP, and Speakers Lounge, plus an exclusive evening with sponsors and partners - canapés, drinks, and unforgettable networking.

We’ve got more ticket varieties to follow, so stay tuned. 

Until next time fam.
