Despite its distinguished lineup of speakers, including Peter McCormack, Vitalik Buterin, and Dovey Wan, attendees are now grappling with the aftermath of severe weather conditions.&nbsp;

Footage shared by visitors depicts the aftermath of the storm in Dubai, showing flooded streets and submerged cars. Some users humorously remarked on the situation, with one <a href="https://twitter.com/nina_rong/status/1780117009700720974" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-wpel-link="external">quipping</a>, “Come to Dubai, huge liquidity pool 🌊,” while another <a href="https://twitter.com/karnsaroya/status/1780118296878264367" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-wpel-link="external">mentioned</a> “GM Dubai, surfing over to TOKEN2049.” 
A conference attendee also <a href="https://twitter.com/mycryptoalias/status/1780153865947496862" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-wpel-link="external">captured</a> footage of the event and provided updates on his Twitter stating the event “got liquidated.” 
The event organizers clarified about the event stating that “Entry and exit to Dubai is unaffected and TOKEN2049 Dubai will proceed as scheduled.” 
The organizers of the event also conducted a poll today, inquiring about attendees’ transportation plans. Surprisingly, the ‘boat’ option is currently leading with 40% of the votes.&nbsp;
