The global Sui ecosystem will converge in Dubai on May 1-2, 2025, for the second edition of Sui Basecamp, the flagship conference of the Sui network.

Announced today by Sui Foundation and Mysten Labs, the two organizations jointly developing the open-source blockchain network, Basecamp will bring together thousands of Sui creators, builders, entrepreneurs, enthusiasts, and industry leaders to listen to top-tier speakers, learn breaking news, and gain insights into the blockchain that's driving the mass adoption of Web3.

At last year's event, the groundbreaking handheld gaming console—SuiPlay0X1—was revealed to the world. For the first time ever, at this year's Sui Basecamp, attendees will get hands-on access to try out this highly anticipated device—before pre-order shipments begin this summer.

This year's Basecamp attendees can expect the conference to reflect Sui's ascent as one of the industry's top ecosystems, with keynotes from leading figures from inside and outside the Sui ecosystem, info-packed sessions that unveil the roadmaps of key products and projects building on Sui, networking opportunities, and more.

Announced speakers include:

Christian Thompson, Managing Director of Sui Foundation

Sam Reynolds, CEO of Mysten Labs

Evan Cheng, Co-Founder of Mysten Labs and creator of Sui

Real Vision CEO Raoul Pal

Ann Wipo, Partner at Union Square Ventures

Ben Levitt, Head of Ecosystem Fund at Blockfolio

Dirk Kleemeier, Managing Director of Asia at Chainlink

Haider Hasib, CEO of Karrier One

Enya Ben Shalom, CEO of Artinals

The complete speaker lineup and agenda will be announced at a later date on the official Sui website. Users can visit the site for further updates, and look for additional speakers to be announced on the Sui X account.

“The past year has seen the incredible growth of the Sui ecosystem—driven by the vibrant community of enthusiasts, builders, entrepreneurs, partners, and industry leaders who are committed to realizing the full potential of Sui,” said Christian Thompson, Managing Director of Sui Foundation. “As we learned from the first conference, bringing the Sui ecosystem together like this produces unmatched energy and sparks the best ideas. We invite you to help us honor the Sui community, celebrate the fruits of our shared commitment, and chart our course for the future together.”

Last year's inaugural event in Paris saw 1,100 attendees from 65 countries come together to celebrate the community driving Sui's meteoric growth—with an even greater turnout anticipated this year.

Over 100 speakers presented across 44 sessions at last year's event, with major announcements including: unveiling the world's first blockchain-based handheld gaming console, named SuiPlay0X1; NHN doing a deep dive into their development efforts on Sui; and First Digital announcing it would natively deploy the FDUSD stablecoin on Sui.

Since then, and as speakers from Sui and Mysten discussed the early path forward to a new internet, the community has achieved significant milestones in early adoption, including:

The sponsors of Sui Basecamp 2025 include a roster of top wallets, decentralized exchanges, and infrastructure providers, such as Phantom, Cetus, Karrier One, Walrus, Artinals, Navi, Lofi, Pyth, and Suilend.
