ShibaCon 2024 was announced as the first global conference for Shiba Inu, scheduled to take place in Bangkok on Nov. 9. This event marks a milestone in the project's history, aiming to showcase technological advancements, foster community engagement and discuss plans for the Shiba Inu ecosystem, with a focus on SHIB, BONE, LEASH and planned tokens TREAT and SHI, as well as the Shiba Inu layer 2 Shibarium, among others.

The idea of ShibaCon was initially proposed by Ryoshi, Shiba Inu's pseudonymous founder, who envisioned it as a succession of local meetups leading up to an annual global event.
Anticipation grows amid Shiba Inu's lead tweet
Expectations are in place for the SHIBACON event, which many believe will showcase major announcements and updates for the Shiba Inu ecosystem. Kusama’s tweet has added a sense of mystery and anticipation, leaving many wondering what surprises await.
In the past and up to now, the Shiba Inu project and its team have been targeted by critics and skeptics. Despite major advancements and expansion within the ecosystem, a group Kusama referred to as "shadow cats," continues to undermine and attack the team’s efforts.
