Hamptons Tech Week Special With Stephen Sabo

Strategy Sessions

Hamptons Tech Week is back at the end of June.

It’s one of the must attend events in the tech sector because of the incredible network of people who attend. Steve Sabo is the Co-Founder of the event and he explores what makes the event special. He’s also the Founder of Ethereal, a blockchain and Web3 consultancy, a massive golf fan and the CEO of Vin & Fin, the financial services event you never knew you needed.

• The differences between the UK and US in the entrepreneur space
• Is Web3 over hyped?
• Why FOMO makes a terrible business model
• Will the incumbents let Web3 ever reach its potential
• Starbucks being the world leaders in using Web3… and why no one knows about it
• What comes next in the Web3 space – and why it could be great for hipsters!
• What role does government have to play in legislating for new tech
• The intersection of tech and golf
• How golf can change to capture a new audience and stay relevant
• Why Belfast has a big future in the tech space
• Vin & Fin – why pairing financial advice with wine tasting is the future

Stephen Sabo

Early on in his professional career, Steve recognized an opportunity to educate others with a CFO style approach designed to make the complex world of financial planning, taxes, and insurance accessible and simple. With this approach as his foundation, Steve founded Simple Society where he serves as the CEO today. At the core of Simple Society lies a dedication to providing objective, honest, and precise strategies.

Through this firm’s dedication to education of clients, Steve created a trademarked course called Vin & Fin, which pairs wine and financial education to make the complex topics in life easier on the palette.

The pandemic hit, making Vin & Fin press pause until events were "back" which allowed Steve to find his other passion in the world of blockchain and web3. He created the consulting company Ethereal to help companies understand and integrate this technology into their businesses. Ethereal also has its own projects which include Hamptons Tech Week and Liquidity CC.

Steve’s passion for connecting with others allows him to act as a partner, often developing mutually beneficial relationships for people in his vast network. In his free time, he enjoys golfing at Beacon Hill Country Club in Atlantic Highlands, NJ where he lives with his wife and two children.
