DEConference2025 lands in Australia with XDC Network

The XDC Network once again steps up as sponsor for Australia’s preeminent Web3 and Digital Economy professional and industry representation – with OKX Headline sponsor – and alongside premier sponsors 8eightcap, Coinspot, Swyftx, Independent Reserve, Fireblocks & ZEROCAP.

This national gathering highlights the platforms, protocols, and people working at the intersection of blockchain, digital assets, artificial intelligence, distributed systems, tokenisation, quantum readiness, intelligent infrastructure, and so much more!

📍Day 1: Revolutionising Supply Chains: Unleashing AI & Web3 Power!
Morning Fireside with Elton Brown (DMS Pty Ltd) and Lawrence Christoffelsz (Ethical Trade Alliance), where Sean White will discuss real-time traceability and provenance in the supply chain arena. The chat will delve into the benefits of logistical efficiencies from AI and the future of blockchain working hand-in-glove with this emerging technology to support ethical standards, not just immediate cost benefits.

📍Day 2: Moving Money: The New Rails of Speed, Settlement, and Scale.
​XDC Network’s Head of Markets & Trading, Angus O’Callaghan, joins Cindy He (ANZ), Effie Dimitropoulos (AUDD – Australian Digital Dollar), and Zac Wong (Worldpay) in a panel that explores the robustness and stamina of settlement layers in a DLT-enabled digital economy.

Trust is not enough in a world where code is law and assets move at speed. This session explores the critical role of testing, auditing, and validation in digital systems, where failure can be fast, public, and permanent. What are the emerging trends in this fascinating DA vertical?

📍Day 3: Executive Roundtable – Designing for Stability: The Role of Stablecoins in Australia’s Evolving Financial System (with Angus O’Callaghan and Sean White).
This roundtable explores the path forward for stablecoins in Australia and beyond. From regulatory settings to financial infrastructure, they will unpack the role of trust, utility, and oversight in making stablecoins usable, scalable, and safe across the economy.
