Adriatic Web3 & iGaming Awards-2025 took place in Porto Montenegro

For the first time in the region, the web3 and iGaming awards ceremony took place in the luxurious Regent Porto Montenegro Hotel on October 7.

24 nominations, 25 speakers, and guests from 15 countries, including the UK, Germany, Spain, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Georgia, Serbia, Montenegro, Latvia, Moldova, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Russia, and Ukraine. Featured such renowned speakers as Vugar Usi Zade, Tobias Jack Lewis, Inna Gagarin, Marko Matanović, Anton Khomenok, David Veselinović, Zoran Djikanović, and many others. Following the speakers' presentations, an exhibition, and a networking lunch, a panel discussion on 2025 trends and the awards ceremony took place in the evening. Afterwards, guests from the lounge conference headed to an afterparty in the garden bar, where a rock band and DJ performed.

On the second day, October 8th, event guests gathered on the Bitget crypto exchange networking yacht, where they networked to a special DJ set in an informal, no-tie setting. During the conference, several agreements were reached between several companies, and several signed contracts right on site in Porto Montenegro.

The next similar conference is planned for Belgrade in the spring of 2026, in the city's most prestigious modern district and its most famous building. A new event in Montenegro is planned for the autumn of 2026. 

"We've created a new event format for the region," organizer Alexey Nasybullin, founder Lead Volume, shares. "When our traffic team brings new users to web3 and iGaming projects, we first test, then optimize, and scale the advertising campaign. It's the same in the events industry. First, you test, then adjust, and improve. This is a standard workflow. We've already noticed that other local conferences have started rushing their awards ceremonies, without even announcing the nominations or participants. When people are discussing your ideas and trying to copy them, it's a sign that you're on the right track and bringing something new and interesting to the table."
