This year's Final Rounds of the International Blockchain Olympiad (IBCOL Finals) is held in the vibrant city of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. The leading position of the Netherlands and the European Union in innovation and technology makes it the perfect location for the convergence of blockchain innovators. Not only is the city home to a thriving web3 ecosystem, but the Netherlands (Dutch) government and the European Union is also pioneering favourable conditions for a digital renaissance spearheaded by blockchain technology.
Nominated teams from around the world will have the opportunity to showcase their ideas and projects in the finals in Amsterdam. The event will be in the form of an exhibition, and each team will have a designated area to display their poster board and videos. The posters will showcase the team's project, including the technical details, advantages, and potential impact of their work. There will be the opportunity to interact with attendees, who will include industry experts, academics, judges and other teams.

Travel: Amsterdam is located in the Netherlands. The Netherlands is part of the Schengen Area, which is a zone of 26 European countries that have abolished passport and other types of border control at their mutual borders. If you are a citizen of a country that is not a member of the European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA), you may need to obtain a visa before you can enter the Schengen Area, which includes Amsterdam. It's important to note that visa requirements can change, so it's always a good idea to check with the Netherlands embassy or consulate in your home country before you travel to Amsterdam. Additionally, even if you do not need a visa to enter the Netherlands, you may need to meet other requirements, such as having a valid passport or travel insurance.
