On November 8 and 9, Costa Rica hosted Blockchain Jungle, a regional technology conference that brings together engineers, founders, investors, and creators to explore the intersection of blockchain, AI, fintech, and product innovation. The event blends technical talks, real case studies, and networking at scale making it one of the most relevant tech gatherings in Latin America for builders who want more than surface-level conversations.
This year, Telescoped didn’t just attend, we hosted our own room and curated a full day of practical, high-depth sessions. The response was clear: our room stayed at 120% capacity most of the time People were standing, taking notes, asking sharp questions, and engaging with every speaker. It was a strong signal of how much technical appetite and talent exists in the region.
