TOKEN2049 Conference Hit by Dubai Flood, Goers ‘Liquidated’

by

At the highly esteemed TOKEN2049 crypto conference in Dubai, which is known worldwide, there have been major interruptions. A powerful storm has caused flooding not only at the conference site but also in the surrounding area, and the event, scheduled to end on April 21, has been affected as a result.

In spite of an impressive roster of guest speakers such as Peter McCormack, Vitalik Buterin, and Dovey Wan, eventgoers currently face challenges due to the harsh weather that has hit the area.

In simpler terms, due to dangerous weather conditions, the UAE government advises citizens to stay home and avoid flying until at least Wednesday. The meteorological center predicts this hazardous situation will continue.

Visitors have shared videos of Dubai’s streets and cars submerged following a storm. The footage reveals flooded roads and vehicles underwater. Some people made light of the situation, with one commenting, “Dubai: where you can swim in your car and attend a conference at the same time 🏊‍♂️💼,” while another joked, “Dubai: your taxis are now boats, come join us for TOKEN2049’s surfing session 🌊✨.”

An attendee at the conference recorded videos and shared live tweets describing the event as coming to an end or being wrapped up.

The event organizers clarified about the event stating that “Entry and exit to Dubai is unaffected and TOKEN2049 Dubai will proceed as scheduled.”

Today, the event’s coordinators asked attendees for their preferred transportation method through a poll. It’s unexpected that over forty percent of the respondents have opted for traveling by boat.
