Events Venture Group Announces Strategic Investment in Stablecon and Supports European Expansion with New EMEA Conference in Amsterdam

November 3, 2025 — San Diego, CA Events Venture Group (EVG), the network of world-class event founders, operators, and investors shaping the next generation of live experiences, is proud to announce its strategic investment in Stablecon, the leading global conference series focused on stablecoin innovation, economic policy, and financial infrastructure.

Alongside EVG’s $750,000 investment, Stablecon has unveiled its international expansion with the launch of Stablecon EMEA, taking place May 19–20, 2026, in Amsterdam, Netherlands. This milestone marks a significant step in bringing stablecoin and digital payments discourse to a global audience.

A Major Step in Global Fintech Convening

Stablecon has rapidly become the premier forum for leaders across finance, crypto, policy, and payments. Following its flagship U.S. event — which welcomed more than 2,000 attendees, 1,000+ C-suite leaders, and 200+ speakers — the new EMEA edition will address the unique regulatory frameworks and infrastructure developments shaping digital payments across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

Inaugural announced speakers include:

• GB Agboola, Founder & CEO, Flutterwave

• Chris Harmse, Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer, BVNK

• Chris Maurice, CEO, Yellowcard

• Edward Woodford, CEO, Zerohash

• Bam Azizi, CEO, Mesh

• Keith Grose, Senior Country Director UK, Coinbase & CEO, CB Payments Ltd

“Stablecon’s growth reflects how important stablecoins have become to global finance,” said Nik Milanovic, Founder of Stablecon. “With EVG’s backing and operational expertise, we’re ready to expand internationally and create a premier forum for collaboration across the EMEA region.”

Why EVG Backed Stablecon

EVG’s investment community includes some of the most influential leaders in the events ecosystem, such as Jonathan Weiner (Founder of HLTH & Money20/20), Douglas Emslie (former Chairman of Tarsus), Greg Topalian (Chairman, Clarion Events North America), and Monique Ruff-Bell (Chief Program & Strategy Officer, TED).

Their shared perspective: Stablecon is poised to become a category-defining global franchise.

“At the earliest stages, I always bet on people first. Business models pivot — great founders don’t,” said Jonathan Weiner. “What excites me about Stablecon is Nik’s ability to attract talent, raise capital, and adapt fast. That’s the kind of founder who builds enduring companies.”

Marco Giberti, EVG Founding Board Member, added:“EVG was built to back visionary operators who think differently. Stablecon is a perfect example of how innovation and discipline can coexist to create a lasting platform.”

EVG Co-Founder Marilú Páez emphasized the alignment with EVG’s mission:“Every industry relies on in-person convening to share knowledge and create deal flow, yet few have treated these gatherings as investable assets. Stablecon represents exactly the type of high-impact event business EVG was created to champion.”

Monique Ruff-Bell, EVG Board Member, noted:“We’re backing exceptional founders and providing strategic support to create a blueprint for sustainable growth. Events are the connective tissue for innovation across every sector — and Stablecon exemplifies that.”

A Shared Vision for the Future of Digital Money

The expansion into Amsterdam, coupled with EVG’s investment, positions Stablecon at the center of global fintech dialogue during a pivotal time of regulatory evolution and institutional adoption.

As stablecoins surpass $20 trillion in circulating value and continue to shape the future of digital payments, Stablecon EMEA will serve as a forum for education, collaboration, and real-world problem-solving across banks, fintechs, regulators, and builders.
