Bitcoin 2021, the world’s largest annual Bitcoin conference, has announced that it will return to an in-person event this year and will no longer be held in Los Angeles. It will instead be held in Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood at Mana Wynwood, a convention center campus owned by visionary entrepreneur Moishe Mana, Miami’s largest private landowner.
In partnership with the City of Miami, Mayor Francis X. Suarez and Mana Common, Bitcoin 2021 was conceptualized with the mission to take Bitcoin back to its origins and “make Bitcoin fun again.” The conference will offer community connections, technical education and real-world Bitcoin implementations in a collaborative and festival-style atmosphere featuring food trucks, a Lightning Network-powered video game arcade, a skateboard halfpipe that will be used by Tony Hawk, a Bitcoin-inspired art gallery and a beer garden networking area.
Our team is extremely excited to welcome our attendees for the first time in Miami, a city which has taken significant strides in the past few months to welcome and support the growing Bitcoin community. We had an incredibly successful 2019 conference, and it was clear that people wanted a place to learn and talk about Bitcoin and build new relationships. This year, as we witness Bitcoin’s meteoric rise in the mainstream conversation, we want to bring Bitcoin, the movement, into focus and celebrate the individuality of the people who make up this incredible ecosystem.
— David Bailey, CEO, BTC Media
Bitcoin 2021 will run from June 4-5, with an institutional-focused “Whale Day” on June 3. The conference will welcome a multifaceted cast of speakers including the leading entrepreneurs, developers, researchers and regulators focused on all things Bitcoin.
Over 100 partners will participate and be given the opportunity to showcase their latest technology, wallets, nodes and services. Many of the 10,000 attendees are from bitcoin-focused businesses looking to grow alongside the market and will be seeking opportunities for partnerships, new hires, investors and more.
Our vision for Miami as a global tech hub is becoming more real each day. We’re thrilled to support an event like this, which furthers our mission and fuses all the best things Miami has to offer, from technology to international finance, entertainment and commerce.
— Moishe Mana, Chairman & Founder, Mana Common
The inaugural Bitcoin 2019 conference saw 2,000 attendees converge on San Francisco to celebrate 10 years of the technology. Speakers featured privacy advocate Edward Snowden, alongside notable early adopters like ARK Invest CEO & CIO Cathie Wood and investor Tim Draper.
