As Doginal Dogs prepares for DDNYC 2026, its sold-out flagship event in New York this September, two of the community’s most recognizable voices will take the stage as moderators: Web (@web3smb) and Leah (@leahbluewater). Both are entrepreneurs and active community leaders, and both have become known as engaging, credible presences at live events.
Their role at DDNYC is a natural fit. Moderating a live event well is its own skill, keeping conversations sharp, drawing out guests, and reading a room, and it is one both have developed as recurring voices in the community and on stage at industry gatherings.
Web (@web3smb)
Web is an entrepreneur and a leading voice in the community, known for a focus on the intersection of Web3 and everyday business. As a speaker and host, he has become a familiar presence at industry events, valued for making complex topics accessible and for the energy he brings to a live stage. At DDNYC 2026, he will help guide the event’s marquee conversations.
Leah (@leahbluewater)
Leah is an entrepreneur and community leader recognized as one of the more compelling live voices in the space. A frequent presence at events and on stage, she is known for her ability to steer substantive discussions and connect with an audience. Her turn as a DDNYC 2026 moderator continues a track record of on-stage work at gatherings across the industry.
| Great events are made on stage. Putting two of the community’s strongest live voices at the center of DDNYC is a statement about the quality of the experience. |
Why the Moderators Matter
Events live or die by the people running the room. A sold-out crowd and a strong venue lineup set the stage, but it is the moderators who determine whether the marquee sessions land. By tapping two entrepreneurs who are also seasoned live voices, Doginal Dogs is signaling that DDNYC 2026 is built to deliver substance, not just spectacle.
It also reflects the depth of the community itself. That Doginal Dogs can draw on entrepreneurs and established speakers from within its own ranks to lead its flagship event says something about the caliber of the people it has attracted. Web and Leah are not outside hires; they are part of the community, and that makes their role on stage feel earned rather than booked.
DDNYC 2026 runs September 2 to 4 in New York and sold out within hours of tickets being released. Learn more: doginaldogs.com
