Inspired by Ethereum's transformative hard fork in 2016, triggered by the unforeseen attack on THE DAO, FORKED was born from the necessity to pivot following an event cancellation that was beyond our control. This catalyzed a collective decision by Addy Crezee and the team to carry on the event under a new brand, symbolizing resilience and ingenuity of Founders in the face of challenges.

FORKED, a Web3 founder-focused event brand, is the latest venture by Addy Creeze, a serial crypto conference organizer and builder since 2014. Previously, Addy’s events welcomed numerous thought leaders, including Ethereum's Vitalik Buterin, the Winklevoss twins of Gemini, CZ from Binance, and Yat Siu of Animoca Brands. Iconic figures such as Wikipedia's Jimmy Wales, investment titan Tim Draper, and research leader Thomas Lee have also graced its stages. These events have established themselves as must-attend gatherings for anyone interested in the blockchain space.
